While going through the box of DVDs I found another interesting piece. It is a preview package of Microsoft products from 2007.

The most interesting is probably the Windows Server RC1. It has an expiration date, but I guess it would work with time shifted in the BIOS, and I bet there is already a hack to get around this limit permanently. However, I have not tried to install it yet.



Also, Windows Server 2008 is based on Windows Vista, which was not really the pinnacle of quality, so I guess it would be fun to give it a try and see what it does in the RC version.

The envelope also contains trial version of Visual studio 2008 Professional, which would be quite interesting, and i must have a look to archive, if it is already there, and if not, make a copy and upload it there.

And the last piece of SQ given is a MS SQL server trial version, which is least interesting on. Also there are two more DVDs with some content, but the 64bit versions of OS and SQL server, so they have divided them.
