Basically you need to sign in with a windows LIVE or Hotmail account and verify your student status. The Word Doc was originally written for fellow students at ITT Tech but it should be easy for you to reference what to use or not to use from it.





On Dreamspark, there's a program called ';IT ACADEMY'; and it covers Microsoft Windows Framework 2.0 and covers some programming and SQL Server 2005 to prepare you for a Microsoft Certification. Total time it takes for them... Estimated 12+ hours.





You will also benefit ability to download and burn Visual Studios 2005 and 2008 Professional Editions. Requires a DVD Burner...





OR





Install Virtual PC, Load the Server 2003 ISO and install it.


Once you install, Install the ';Additional Virtual PC'; package and link folders together(Click the folder on bottom left of Virtual PC window) to copy the DVD ISO





Then load the Visual Studios 2008 ISO to VPC w/ server 2003 and copy the Files from the CD through the shared folders between VPC and your real PC folders.





IT works... lol Just follow those steps on how and you'll understand it.
