Technicality: the "code base" may be the same but the _code_ is not.
Corresponding[*] desktop and server editions install different code
for a number of key modules. This is easily verified by comparing the

[*] server 2008 <> windows 7
server 2012 <> windows 8
Haven't seen server 2016 yet.

You still can tweak a great many things IFF you know how. But it
isn't (and never was) possible to tweak a desktop into a server.
