Where to get 2003 server (it 's in the pricelist on select)

[johnny99]

I am in a little stupid situation.
We have a project that has to go into production around the end of october. Normaly when development come to me and ask to run on the new (not even released) version of Windows (or any other software) I try to be nice when I say "no way".
My problem is that we have tested some of the key components on Win2K and RC2 of 2003 and the same componenets (in .net) run more then 3 times as fast on 2003 then on Win2K

I have 2003 in my pricelist from Microsoft (select) so I can buy it, and as everyone else, I know that they have started to make the CD's, but where can I download them?

Normaly we can download anything from Microsoft that we can buy, but not this one.

We found a GA version (not at Microsoft) but it's an Advanced version and we don't need that.

Unless you are one of Microsofts premier partners or an OEM, you will not be able to get the full server 2003 code until the April 24th release, although you can place advanced orders, some of which may ship slightly earlier. These orders would have to be placed with Microsoft themselves.

As part of our select program I should have access to download byt every time they change something in our mother company (we are on their select program) we stop receiving CD's logon rights and all that stuff.

We got the CD's from somewhere else but we still didn't get the keys (except some that is not ours)

I have ordered the things I need, but on the other hand I am still waiting for the licenspapers from all the licenses I upgraded in August last year. I got the invoices but that was not from Microsoft.
