Recently released is a new set of VHD’s for your arsenal, created by Microsoft, for you.  Sure they come with 60 day evals on them, but they’re pre-built Windows Server 2008 images.  x86 and x64 flavours.  REMEMBER though – if you plan to go to Server 2008 R2, it will only be 64 bit…

Hyper-V based Windows Server 2008 virtual machines with an evaluation period of 60 days are available here:

  1. Windows Server 2008 Standard x86 (full install)
  2. Windows Server 2008 Standard x86 (core install)
  3. Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 (full install)
  4. Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 (core install)

Reading across some of the blogs today and I have found some good ones.  If you’re in to testing and you don’t want to have to build the machines all the time, simply shoot over to Microsoft’s Download Site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=060f0c51-339a-4c4e-bb6e-716bb7401fd4&DisplayLang=en

and you can get some Hyper-V demo machines free.  Yup, someone has already built them for you and you can use them for testing till your heart is content.  Have fun!
