Isn’t there a way to get a free beta version? I got an image once for Virtual Box.

Why would you want to?

Windows is for corporates putting spreadsheets in front of coin counters.

For everything else there is Linux (or FreeBSD), which is probably why Micro$oft is porting SQL server to it.

Are you being facetious? It seems like you are. I'm 99% sure you have to be, but some people do think and write like that.

Notably the cringeworthy second paragraph and substituting $ for s like this is Slashdot in the 00s.
