Software Available: Go to ELMS for a list. If you want a Microsoft product that is not listed, go to msdnaa.com and verify that it is available from Microsoft. If it is, send us an e-mail and we'll try to get it for you. They have older operating systems (like Windows 98 and 2000), all the servers (like Commerce Server), many betas, and other tools.
