Yes they do distribute files for linux in RAR. Astrogeek: You are incorrect. The links are microsoft owned. They are not third party. Code: ping az412801.vo.msecnd.net PING az412801.vo.msecnd.net (65.54.87.208) 56(84) bytes of data.

According to the article, the free Windows VM will only run for 90 days. After it quits running, you won't be able to access any data in it. |

But it made me grin - I only looked at the article because I have no M$ machines and every once in a while I think it would be interesting to run one in a VM just to see how the other side lives. So when I saw free version to run in a VM I took a look, but was happy to find there was so little interest in it that even no-cost was too expensive to look at. Then I saw 90 day expiration and realized I would probably still have to authenticate... click to next article... It was nice to be reminded how good life is without them!
