I have purchased the Action Pack from MS, however it is still being processed , but i wanted to spend some time over the weekend installing it. Is there anywhere I can legally download the ISO and I will activate it when I get my product keys (in a few days hopefully).

you could download the evaluation/90 day trial version, dont think it can be "upgraded" to full tho.

Other than that, I dont know of a way to get the full ISO legally.

Just checked this out and you need to send a URL "proving" that you are a developer!!!

I have domains and hosting but no website as yet.

What a pain.

Just stick a "Coming soon" page up with an "Under construction" GIF from GeoCities and it'll look like 99% of developer websites

What about going the Microsoft Registered Partner route?

That is free, and you just purchase the action pack when you are accepted as a partner.

I've been on the action pack thing for years. I installed Windows 8 on my laptop - it lasted 3 days before I took it off again. It's w@nk

Mine came through, then I got an email saying I needed a website showing I developed .NET software. By then I had already downloaded a lot of the software?? I said I get all my clients using Agents but I could put up my old website in a few days, and i stuck a one pager on Azure free website cloud node thing job. Seems to have done the job.

But I am currently sans laptop as I sold my mac book air on ebay and am waitign for my Thinkpad T530 to come :/

Just bought the upgrade for my old Vista laptop. Just to test with you understand, for the laptop and desktop I actually use I'm sticking with Windows 7. This laptop is 1280x800 and so technically doesn't conform to the minimum spec of 1366x768, and has pretty poor graphics performance so it'll be interesting to see how well it works.

The website says £25 for the download only, and £50 if you want a DVD. Well, when you run the downloaded upgrade app it gives you the option of a DVD for a further £8.99.
