Microsoft Server Software VHD’s

Microsoft have released a slew of Virtual Hard Disks (VHD’s) making it quick and easy to evaluate Microsoft software for free, in your environment.

Their “Run IT on a Virtual Hard Disk” initiative can be found here:

and includes product such as:

• Exchange 2007
• Sharepoint 2007
• Windows Vista
• System Center
• and many more

By installing these on a virtual machine, you can have the application up and running very quickly, reducing the amount of time that Test & Dev takes..which can only be a good thing right? 🙂
