Windows?

[Matthias Rebe]

Hi Scott,

do you need that windows version for testing or for production?

If the first, then are you aware of "Microsoft TechNet Subscription".
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/bb892756.aspx

It´s an subscription service for one year for it professionals to evaluate, test and troubleshoot Microsoft software.

You get licenses for Office, Windows and other Microsoft software. All as full versions
not restriction in function. But you are only allowed to use it for evaluating, testing. You are not allowed to use it in a production environment.
The desktop versions of office and windows are normally a 10-user license. 
That means, you can use it e.g. to test your livecode created apps (created on mac or full version of windows)  under windows, but you are not allowed to use  livecode to create/compile your apps on that "eval" windows.

The software itself has to be downloaded, but you can buy a media version for a higher price.

Amazon is selling the standard subscription version for about $180 at the moment.

Maybe this helps.

Regards,

Matthias
