Still waiting to trial of Windows Home Server? - well here’s your chance.
Microsoft has always offered a 120 day evaluation of WHS - but for some countries the costs to ship the evaluation kit internationally were a little on the high side - but the good news is that at the moment there is no shipping charge on order including international shipping.
So maybe it’s time to place your order and start assembling the hardware to give it a try.
What will you receive:
Windows Home Server Installation DVD
Windows Home Server Connector CD
Home Computer Restore CD
Order the free Windows Home Server 120-Day Evaluation Kit here.
Please note that this kit does not include Power Pack 1 so once you’ve installed WHS, visit this page to download it.

Although I got the OEM allready, I ordered 5 too
August 5th, 2008 at 7:38 am
pah, everyone I was talking to was grabbing them in multiples of 9…

Interesting, when I ordered it said three was the maximum.

Daniel - they probably downgraded the max number as the copies were flying out the windows! I also saw 3 as the max.

Great news for testing. I’m looking at improving my .Net skills and getting some software written, already had a few of these left over from before I got the OEM but 5 more won’t do any harm.
I’ve shafted my main box too many times by messing around so a nice test environment is essential.
Cheers Bill!!!!
