kms on server 2008

after just waiting, I finally activated the KMS server on windows 2008...
good news was that it's simple...

cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk [key]

Found SQL 2000

Windows 7 Virtualization

By now, I've tried plenty of Windows 7...

but for the first time, I wasn't in charge of the hardware purchase...mistake!!!

why? because I wasted the download time of the "windows xp mode and the Virtual PC" according to Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

sure, I could have just used the advisor before downloading, but seriously! who would sell something without HAV? Dell would, that's who :(

There is no using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 either... just go with VM Ware Server...
