Just a note on Technet subscriptions, courtesy of El Reg yesterday. Not sure how much impact it would have.

It contains server, workstation and app licenses. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mct.aspx#tab2 I guess that would be the hard way, though, huh?

They are a good chunk of money, but if you are seriously testing stuff it would be worth it. They have two subscription types: Standard and Professional. The Standard doesn't include server products, application servers, etc...only the Professional has that if you will be looking to "lab up" an entire infrastructure.

My question is this; if you're an individual and you want to remain legal where is the best place to get MS Windows licenses and media? Most people will want several versions of Windows and the cost of retail licenses would quickly mount.
