[cod] CoD modern warfare 2 - linux binaries...

Tue Sep 29 05:35:24 EDT 2009

Hi Guys..,

Why not download the trial of server 2008?

Overview taken from:-

"This software is for evaluation and testing purposes. Evaluating Windows
Server® 2008 software does not require product activation or entering a
product key. Any edition of Windows Server 2008 may be installed without
activation and evaluated for an initial 60 days.

If you need more time to evaluate Windows Server 2008, the 60 day
evaluation period may be reset (or re-armed) three times, extending the
original 60 day evaluation period by up to 180 days for a total possible
evaluation time of 240 days. After this time, you will need to uninstall
the software or upgrade to a fully-licensed version of Windows Server
2008."

You're certainly going to be "Testing" to make sure it works with MW2.

Just a thought.

Regards

Steve
