I’m just getting into Microsoft Dynamics CRM and was looking for a way to run up the trial locally. Unfortunately I don’t have Windows 2003 or SQL Server 2005 licenses. Luckily I stumbled upon the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Virtual PC Demonstration - August 2007 Release, which is just what I needed to play around with Dynamics CRM - Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005, Exchange Server, Visual Studio, etc. All I needed to run everything was to purchase a copy of Virtual PC 2007. So I go to lookup the price of Virtual PC 2007 and its actually free. Wow — so now I have a trial of Dynamics CRM 3.0 that I can play with at home until it expires. Now I only wish I could get a Virtual PC Demonstration of Dynamics CRM 4.0.
