Thanks Jeffrey, for this valuable information. I was aware of the download for a while, but only when I saw that it was good until the end of the year, I became interested. It's a fine OS to use and tryout, but the support does end at the end of this year, unless Microsoft moves it forward again. The 32 bit runs fantastic on 2GB RAM, and you can obtain Windows Virtual PC w/XP Mode (even if your hardware doesn't support it). They created an update that will run XP Mode on these computers that doesn't otherwise support it. I have it, gave it 768MB (.75GB) RAM. By default, it only gave it 256MB RAM, but that's nowhere near enough, so I decided to go into the settings and give it another half a gig of RAM. This is one of the better free VM's that you can have. For my laptop being five years old, it runs good (no Aero), but it doesn't matter to me. That's a playtoy, nearing the end of it's life. It crashed three times today, and the third time, all I was doing was deleting some rewriteable DVD's with ImgBurn, I checked my email, and it crashed. It was a bit warm from running all night, but to crash so easily? Good thing for warranties.

Catilley,
your more than welcome,being an enthusiast & genuine Microsoft user I thought that you would have known about this.We do recieve same newsletters even though you get these before I do it's great news I think.I have it installed on my old desktop it has an old Nvida geforce 4 with 64mb ram with system 256mb ram,runs a bit sluggish at times I put that down to it's age and what benchmarking I have done to it over the many years of testing software,hardware,good old days when you could built Just about any configuration and start it up.Todays stuff is so much more easier as plug & play hardware & software is changing here(slowly).

I have been really pleased with my copy enterprise I like it only have it on 32 bit as my old desktop cannot run x64 too old anyway catilley have a great time with it enjoy what your doing as cost price free is awesome value.

respectfully
