Where is WSS2008R2 essentials?

[Guest no-control]

Anybody know where this software can be found? Basic Technet doesn't have it, does Pro? MSDN? WTH????

Technet Pro does not have it either.

From everything I have read, WSS is meant to be released as an OEM appliance but why MS doesn't make it available is beyond me.

Yes, MSDN has it. I've downloaded it.

I downloaded it from TechNET about mid to late April.

Joe, you got the WSS Essentials version off Technet? All I found was the embedded version.

My mistake -- I saw "Essentials" and thought SBS instead of WSS -- it's hell to get old and blind with tri-focals. It was SBS Essentials I pulled down.
