I want a dvd of windows server 2008 rc0. What is a link to order it? I can only find places to download it, and i want a dvd of it.

Travis30384 · 11-25-2007, 07:19 PM

please hurry

Looking for you now. You're right though - hard to find. What about calling MS directly to order?

Travis30384 · 11-25-2007, 07:31 PM

nah, im 13 and im gonna start collecting things like this. In ten years, it will be nice to look back at a release candidate of an old server program. just please find it

Well, every site I checked out has download links only. Most of them mention you can purchase a DVD, but give no info on how/where to purchase it. Again, I think calling MS would be the easiest. Maybe someone else will have more luck finding an order-link. Sorry

You might also try posting on an MS forum and see if someone can help you there.

Why don't you just download it then burn the image to a DVD and store it? After all you need to put it on a DVD in order to install it.

Can you explain to me why you can't just download it? Do you not have a DVD Burner? Do you have a slow internet connection?

Often times when you do order from Microsoft it takes several weeks to receive it, not to mention they usually charge for it.

Yes, I have a dvd burner, and i could download it. I have dial-up

(getting dsl in a month) and it will take a loooong time to download. Even if i get high speed internet, I will not want to actually use the dvd. I want to add it to my collection of old operating systems like windows 2x-vista. I need to have the dvd, and am willing to pay for it. Meanwhile, NO ONE is responding to my msdn forum post. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/Sho...57039&siteid=1

Please help
