Where can I get Windows Server 2003 Beta for $15?

[InlineFive]

I saw someone mention it on here and I wanted to buy it because my experience of Microsoft's later Beta's has been very solid and it would rock to get this OS so cheap. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks!

You can get a trial for free from Microsoft, but the license does not allow you to use it in an enterprise environment. It only allows you to use it for testing purposes. If you are going to use the Server in an enterprise environment, pony up the money and don't try to find a cheap way out of it, because it can come back and bite you in the ass.

It isn't for an enterprise, it's for my home, I want some of the streaming media options. When you say trial does that mean 60-day? If so I did that.
