Windows Server 2008 Virtual Appliance for VMware
Have you heard someone around you say something like "I would really like to play with Windows Server 2008, but I can't afford it"? Or maybe "I would like to play with WS08 but I don't have a *server* laying around to try it on." ?
You can hold their hand, offer a tissue and tell them there's help. The VMware Virtual Appliance Center has plenty of useful things to offer. One of them is a pre-built virtual machine with Windows Server 20008 and VMware Tools installed. 100 percent legal, evaluation version. And this is the "Enterprise" edition. So, you can download Virtual Server 1.x (or Virtual Server 2.0 RC) for FREE, and download a ready-to-run WS08 virtual appliance for FREE and start getting up to speed now. What are you waiting for?!
