Windows Server 2008 Trial

[StrangerInBeijing]

Not sure I shoud post in this topic, but here goes anyhow.

I need to try out some MS products. Windows Server & MS Dynamics.

I only got this one laptop spare at the moment (Its pretty decend HP with 2gb memory..cannot remember the exact specs now)

Not sure I can run win 2008 server on it. From what I figured on http://www.microsoft.com there is 32 and 64 bit versions, but on the download trial page (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...-software.aspx) it clearly say "Download the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x64) evaluation direction and try it free for 60 days (extendable to 240 days)."

Dunno.....worth even wasting my time or the trouble of telling the Russian I need to take back my old laptop?

Better tell boss buy a server to play with, but with this economic crisis I'm lucky to get paid...they aint got no money.

From what I gather from when I downloaded the Windows Server 2008 trial there were 3 downloads. However, you only need to download a minimum of 1 in-order to use the full trial.

Edit:

It appears to be two downloads for the Enterprise trial!

Does it need to be the Enterprise version? I'm pretty sure MS Dynamics will run on Standard edition.

Here's the standard edition download for the 32 bit version:
