You may use TechNet subcription for evaluating. It is paid but gives additional benefits. http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/default.aspx

I suggest that you read the Licensing rules - they are quite clear that the base license for a Volume license must be Pro, anyhow (except for limited Academic and Charity Programs) http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/windows7.aspx#tab=4 -- Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth
