Can anybody give me some suggestions on where to get evaluation CD's for Win 2000 Professional and/or Server? I know that you can get them off of Microsoft's site, but I'm another one of those dude's that's phobic (I know, illogical.) about using his credit card on the web. I'm a new NT 4.0 MCSE looking to upgrade, and would like to play a bit with the real thing at home.

You should try your luck with your nearest Microsoft Certified Solution Provider(MCSP).

I also work for one and we received a few. They also came with beta products (we used to receive them with Exchange 2000, SQL Server 2000 and now with Tahoe).

If you are really interested in Microsoft technology, I would recommend Technet Plus subscription and MSDN subscription (this one is more expensive).

With Technet Plus you get many evaluation CD's and Beta CD's.

If you really wanted to get a legal evaluation copy, one of your option is to buy the MCSE Training Kit; It includes four Windows2000 Core Training Books, and 2 CDs. One of the CD is the electronic version of the books and some goodies, and the second CD is the evaluation CD of Windows2K Server. The cost,it runs from $130 to $150. The books are good, too! I am using one set for my MCSE self-study...Oh no, I do not have Microsoft stock!!!
