Microsoft Evaluation Virtual Machines

Microsoft has just released a series of virtual machine hard disks (VHDs). These VHDs are full evaluation products which are provided to help customers evaluate key MS products (including Windows Server R2, Exchange 2007 and SQL Server 2005). The VHD files are free, although not particularly small! What a great idea! And thanks to Chris Randall for the pointer. [Later] The Windows Server Blog has more details about this programme.
