But they are all licensed OS's and registered using either or MSDN keys or our Volume License keys. And this system resides on an internal network, so unfortunately there's no way for me to give you any kind of remote access to them.. The great thing is that if you have an MSDN subscription, you can get ISO images of all the 'library' disks, which includes all the OS's and such that you get to use for dev/testing purposes under the subscription. You can locate those on the VM host, and for any VM you can point the virtual CD drive to the ISO. Power up the VM and it's just like you slotted the OS install disk in the drive and booted it. Since it's all coming off a hard disk, the install goes pretty fast. (patching will often take longer than the install unless you've got a fast internet connection). -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
