Where can I get this now?

Question
-
I really don't have 1-3 weeks to sit around and wait for a trial disk to arrive. I need to install a server solution today.
Where can I get the software? All I have been able to find are retailers selling hardware with the software loaded. No one seems to be selling the software alone. Of course New Egg/Tiger Direct etc have it, but I need it now, not two days from now.
Any ideas?

Actually, I should make one additional comment. While you can't walk into a store and purchase a license for WHS, I believe you can still download a trial version from Connect. You can use that while you wait for a full version of it to arrive from newegg/tiger direct or any other website that sells the OEM version. Then when the OEM version arrives, you just perform a Server Reinstallation.Saturday, November 1, 2008 2:30 PMModerator
