Evaluation version of Windwos 7

Found this link in Microsoft website for an evaluation version of Windows 7 enterprise edition... the same version I am using here... You will need to have either an hotmail.com or live.com account...

Apparently, you need to have Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V running on your machine with Hyper-V needed to be run on a "64-bit system with hardware-assisted virtualization enabled and data execution prevention (DEP)" (although I have no idea what the heck I am speaking of here since never has it done.)

Not quite sure whether this is what you might need but a trial version of Windows Server 2008 could be downloaded through the following link: Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation Enterprise Edition and Server Core Virtual Hard Drive Images for Hyper-V.

I would need to be able to find another spare machine to really be playing with it... I guess... except for... where do I find one? 8-O lol

Would love to know whether anyone else has gotten it done...
