Garbage

God of Mistakes...
looks suspicious !!

Plz check b4 download !!

^^^ ohh SORRY !!

look at this ..

Requirements:

· A virtualization product that supports the VHD format is required to use this virtual machine. Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server are provided for free and can be used with these VHD based virtual machines.

So, it's a "virtual machine".

But still is it legal ???

VPC is very very good for Testing purpose... it wont heart if u do some thing worng in VPC :p as with Physical installation if u go heywire :p u would b in trouble...

That's why i said, use VPC but rather than downloading already installed copy of a OS, Run VPC in ur Windows, then install the OS by ur self in VPC, as in that way u would get many advantage over that 30 day limited copy !!!
