    Sticker means OEM
    OEM means non-transferrable regardless of if it's registered or not.

    Microsoft have eval versions for Windows Server alright. Easy enough to track down a CD for 120-180 day trials.
    But for workstation it only seems to be beta versions they release for eval before the OS ships in volume. And they tend to have a calander date that they expire on even if the trial may not be over.

    32 bit eval link - can't find a download

    64 Bit Eval versions - downloadable
    XP - 64 bit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/facts/trial.mspx
    2003 sever - 64 bit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/trial/default.mspx
