That definitely was possible under the old deal. You could go through the MSDN
site and download an iso for various versions of Windows and run it under
VirtualBox. The MSDN site also would furnish a license key that you could use
to activate the machine.
I haven't yet gone through this new process to see if anything has changed in
the benefits.

Subject: Re: Apache MSDN Offer is Back
Thanks Chris!
I did avail of the offer a few months ago, and wasn't able to figure out if a
windows license was also available. I want to run windows inside a virtual
machine on my Linux laptop, for the rare cases that there are patches that may
affect that. Any clue if that is possible?
Thanks
Ravi

A few months ago, we learned that the offer for ASF committers to get an MSDN
license had gone away. I'm happy to report that as of a few weeks ago, that
offer is back in place. For more details, committers can check out
