Hey, Does anyone know if MS offer trial or training versions of Windows and Server 2008? Had a good look around, and the only option I could find would be a MSDN subscription. Cheers,

Windows Server 2008 R2 has a 180 day trial here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/windows-server/2008-r2-trial.aspx

Additionally you can install Windows Server 2008 without activation for 60 days and you can extend it up to 240 days http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948472 (although you will need the ISO for it which you can find here http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8371)
