If not your school, then it’s whatever student ID provider you choose. In order to do that, we have to start with where you are.Guess what?

LeetPirate Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Seems to be working still. Thanks for this. Server 2008 is the first 64-bit only Operating System release from Microsoft. o.OAllowing students these free downloads is a good move by Microsoft, I was now about to download server 2008 from torrents to help me study for the MS exams but now I am getting it free @ 1MB/s and more. :)In the long run these subtle acts of unselfishness lead to creativity and great minds in future generations.
