Thanks! Is there a way to do this legally? I might try it in a VM but if I go down the road of considering it as an alternative I need to be able to do this completely legally. Money is not the problem.
It can be licensed through Microsoft Open License, but minimum order is 5 items.
It is also available for free in BizSpark subscription, if you have it.
Just to be clear: this is not the "legal" way. You won't end up with FBI busting down your door or getting a letter from your ISP/microsoft, but it's by no means "legit".
