Just FYI:
Technet is a service from Microsoft that gives you 10 licenses of most of their software for evaluation (more info here)


Sounds rather sweet to me!

Indeed, a nice find. However, Firefox is blocking access for me - says the site is using an invalid security certificate. I presume it's safe to just add an exception?

View it in IE, I did as some of the pages probably have issues in Fx.

From reading around I have found rumours that this wasn't supposed to be public, it should have only been for a select group but it was leaked. I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt they had planned to give away a lot of their software for free like this. I expect this 'issue' will be fixed within the next few days and they will deactivate the downloads/keys used. Who knows what will happen...

An official statement from Microsoft would be nice.

Both IE 6.0 and Firefox get this.
