The recent threads on builds/installers for Mac and Windows reminded me
of Steve Holden's push to get the python-dev team equipped via a
connection with the Microsoft Open Source Technology Center. The OSTC
team provides Microsoft Developer Network licenses to open source
projects to assist them in better supporting Windows.
I've talked with Steve (who passed the task to me) and the Microsoft
folks, and they are happy to provide more licenses if needed. If you are
interested in getting a copy of MSDN, please contact me off-list.
Does it include a license for Windows itself?
Does it allow me to install and run it in a VM?
If so, I'm interested.
Yes. Arguably that's the best thing about the MSDN licenses
(particularly for non-Windows users, but even for us Windows users to
set up "clean" VM environments).
For some reason I hadn't appreciated that this was the case. I'm in
the process of negotiating [*] to repurpose an out-of-work server here
as a buildbot and being able to install an O/S will smooth the
negotiations considerably. I'm especially keen to get a buildbot
running a Windows server OS rather than desktop.
