Hey, I was wondering if Microsoft would ever consider offering Operating Systems like Windows ME(Just for laughs), Microsoft Bob (Hay, one can dream) , Windows 98, 95, NT Workstation or Server 2000 on DreamSpark? I know this is stuff usually reserved for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, but I think student developers could use these as test platforms for any of their tools.

Your idea certainly bears merit. We may see something along those lines as DreamSpark matures.

They won’t even support XP soon enough, why would they bother with 9x?

Is Windows 9x still available over MSDN?

I know that you can still get 9x through the MSDNAA, but I'm not sure about through a general MSDN subscription...

Weird, who would need that? People wanting to see a blue screen when reading from CD and ejecting it?

Ahh, great moments in Microsoft history! Smiley
Nothing like a little BSOD during a mass demonstration of a "great new OS!"
