You'd do better on a bittorrent search engine than MSDN in that case. You will find handy copies that use the same disc to install various 'editions' of the operating systems as well. Less hassles and copy protections. Good stuff for testing and development. ;)

Nobody will know why something so large and simple was created, what it's good for, how it's supposed to be used. It will face complete abandonment and isolation, only to be admired and appreciated by a handful of people once a year.
