| u just download it i guess.
i never saw an evaluation kit from Microsoft. except if ur an MSN
subscriber , they had a link where u can download the thing. that was
months ago though.
i got my copy off of Kazaa Lite i think. cant remember that far back. u get the thing for like 180 days or so.
the copy that i got was used for educational purposes and was used in a lab to test out.
so it was interesting to use. couldnt get the thing to network though,
which was pretty sad. dont know if it was the students or the OS.
but yeah i dunno, im guessing u just go download it from wherever. i
havent seen anything on the microsoft site about it other than video
clips of demonstrations.
OS = Windows XP Pro SP2
CPU = Intel Core Solo 1.5GHz
MEM = 1GB
DISPLAY = Intel GMA950
Internal HDD= 60GB
External HDD= 80GB
External HDD= 250GB
Mac Mini
Firefox 1.5.0.8

| You have to be a member of the MSDN beta testing site. Unless you do find a copy on the P2P services.

| Be carefull which one you download. You need a bootable version so i recommend a .ISO file instead of the rips of whats on LH cd as these are not bootable and im not sure of a way to make a 4074 rip bootable. My .ISO also worked out bigger then a cd (even if i tried overburn) so i but the .ISO on a dvd and all worked fine. eXeem was where i got mine from, very quick too.

| check out www.winbeta.org, you can get legit alpha copys from them through irc, there pre-releases from miscrosoft, thats how microsoft do there testing now, much easier for them.
you get a activation code, it activates and its an unlimited trial, well sort of, its unlimited, until the full version is released in the retail stores, then you get 180 days.
