Where can I get a copy of Server 2003?

Microsoft sort of alludes to having one available on their website. Be buggered if I can find it.

With all you folk running labs, it must be available somewhere in some form?

I get everything I need from a Technet subscription. Luckily, the 2003 R2 trial does seem to still be available.

Installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with SP2 (32-bit x86)

You can also go virtual with Microsoft's Virtual PC or Virtual Server and Download details: Windows Server 2003 R2 VHD

You could also check with any friends who bought the MS press books. They included a 180-day evaluation copy of Server 2003 Enterprise. I have 6 copies kicking around.

I'm using the 180-day trial from the MS Press book. After 180 days (and even less when I mess it up), I have to rebuild the server, but I look at it as experience.
