The downloads work, it's all legal stuff, real serial codes. I don't know about the XNA 2.0 stuff: I only grabbed Server 03 R2, 08, Visual Studio 05, and 08. I am considering replacing XP Home with Server 03 on my laptop and keeping Server 08 for later. Or, keep em all for later, since I now effectively have a copy of XP Pro 32-bit and Vista 32-bit or 64-bit. Comes in handy for third/fourth computers, saving $90-140+ on an OS. I'm setting it all up in Virtual Machine 07 to see how they all work, so I don't screw up. So far Server 03 R2 has like SP2 already installed, and all updates wnt smoothly in my opinion. It took about an hour to get Windows updated.
