#BEST OS TO RUN VIRTUAL MACHINES SOFTWARE#
You're expected to stop using any software acquired through this subscription if the term ends and you don't renew, but there's no time bomb in the software itself. These downloads are must be installed manually (on physical hardware or in a new virtual machine), but unlike evaluation editions they have no expiration date. The MSDN Operating Systems subscription, which costs $699 a year, includes access to the latest versions of Windows and Windows Server, "for development and testing purposes." The alternative is a subscription from MSDN, which is aimed at software developers. There was a time, not so long ago, that the easy answer to this question would have been, "Get a TechNet subscription." Alas, Microsoft shut down that program last year, and the very last TechNet software subscriptions are ending for good this month. The resulting file is ready to run with no OS installation required. The downloads come as multi-part compressed files (RAR format) that need to be reassembled into a virtual machine. On Hyper-V, you can get virtual machine image files running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, with your choice of Internet Explorer versions.
The test VMs are available for OS X, Linux, and Windows, with support for VMware Player and VirtualBox as well.
