Looks like the PDC 03 CDs which were 4051. Nice to see Whidbey in there as well.

My beta disc collection:

Windows Server "Centro" post-Beta 1 CTP

Windows Server "Centro" Beta 1

Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 32-bit Edition Beta 3

Office XP Corporate Preview

Exchange Server 2003 "Titanium" beta kit (Exchange Server 2003 Beta 2, Office 1 Beta 1, Windows .NET Server RC2)

Windows NT Server 4.0 betas

Windows XP Professional RC1

Windows Vista Beta 2 CPP kit

Windows Vista RC1 CPP kit

Windows NT Server 3.51 with BackOffice 2.0 Pre-release

PS where did you get your Longhorn ones from? I've only managed to find the relatively "public" beta discs, not rarities like those!

No offense intended, I suppose he doesn't actually have the disks, but just collected the photos from somewhere else. I remember at least one of the photos being posted here by KenOath or someone else.

Ah I see, I assumed they were the ones that he has. All of the above are mine, by the way

Only took me about 10 seconds from fresh, so its not too bad

Post by **Luckie** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:42 am

but only if you have a fast Internet connection. At home I have a 56k connection and this topic is soooo slow, because of the pictures

Post by **Andy** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:45 am

This page alone comes to almost 1.5MB, so yeah, it will be slow on dial-up.

im glad i don't have 56k anymore, such a pain it was

Post by **tpemail** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 11:25 pm

Those Office betas are interesting
Really hadn't seen much of them for quite a long while

Post by **Jeff** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:35 pm

I wish I had some (legit) beta discs to show off, but sadly I don't.

Post by **James** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 9:06 pm
