Top 2 - FREE eval versions. Big surprise? Not so much...show me an IT Pro that doesn't like free eval version of enterprise software, and I'll show you...something...not very muchly seen around...much.

Except maybe for the really laz...er...time-challenged ones that want on online test drives, like the Virtual Lab on Windows Server 2008 Server Core instead of a download. For everyone else we offer:

  1. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Eval
  2. Windows Server 2008 Standard Eval
  3. Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008
  4. Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

'Course, searching for WS2K8 downloads doesn't tell you that there are some "client" DLs IT Pros want as well:

  1. Windows Vista SP1
  2. Springboard
