If you've got a hoinking big pipe and a Universal or Professional subscription, the Win2K stuff (Professional, Server and Advanced) in the final retail configuration can be downloaded from the Subscription site. Advanced Server is 2 files, 286MB+72MB, Server is 286MB+71MB, and Professional is 286MB+28MB. A honking big pipe if you want to have it before the stuff they're supposed to ship next week arrives...

The good news is supposedly, if you install the current 120 day eval versions from the TechNet subscription, they can be converted in place once the retail version CDs arrive.

Watch for "Where's the beef, the final chapter", coming to an MSDN Universal subscription near you...

Anyone else miffed at being told Real Soon Now?????
