So, this is more frustration that I can't perfect things only due to MS licensing BS.

It's not available via MSDN *or* TechNet. We have MSDN Universal and TechNet subscriptions. Even at that, those licenses aren't legal to use in production.

So, this is a case where we're at fault as we don't want to replace the equipment in order to get something that'll run XP better. Yet, given that this is fully functional and doesn't NEED to be replaced, I fault MS for not realizing that *many* out in this great wide world have legacy PCs that are perfectly operable save access to a smaller-footprint OS.
