Ask it here[^] you will get a more civil response. Or alternatively look at the list of Forums on the left, and pick the most appropiate one.

I think they're not making fun of you. What they are trying to imply is you can't simply download a vhd image from any torrent or file uploading site. You need to buy the software. Its illegal to do use pirated ones. Imagine yourself being one who sells software, you would not want your product be pirated, do you? 
Ignorance of the ability brings disability.

I wouldn't say its perfect, but I will take it seeing as your feeling generous today

Please use the full word please. Using pls makes you look at best unprofessional, and more commonly a little stupid.
Anyway, like other people have said you can't just download a VM image of a windows operating system as you need to pay for a license. If you have a copy of the OS you want lying around on disc then you can install it yourself onto a VM, if you don't have a copy on disc then you'll have to download the image from somewhere. In both cases you will still need a license to activate windows, unless your happy with the time limited trial.

You have a license, so it doesn't matter how you obtain the copy.
I'd go to torrentz.eu and use their excellent search facility.

What is the minimum server configuration to keep a site like codeproject running for 50,000 simultaneous users.
Nos of procs for the windows server and nos of procs for the Sql Database server and amount of Ram.
Now dont look at my signature - it's a defence for the Irrational downvotes that I keep getting.

Yeah, this guy is weird.
Funnily enough, I dont think I have ever seen such a difference between someones name and their attitude as with this guy!

The Code Project is hosted on 7 web servers running Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2003 R2. Each box has between 2 and 4 Gb RAM and runs standard hyperthreaded desktop-level intel chips. The web servers connect to heavy duty multi-CPU, mutli-core SQL servers running SQL 2008 R2
THIS IS NOT TECHNICAL enough

How technical do you want it?
What kind of mains plugs CP uses?
Do a little logical extrapolation from those specs, and you won't be too far wrong...

It's not clear - how many cpu's for the Windows server. How many CPU's for the db server? How much total Ram.
How many simultaneous people can the the present config handle?
|
|
|
|
|
Don't you think that the precise configuration is dependant on what exact code you will be running in each of the processes?
If you search the MS website, i am sure there is a spreadsheet for determining hardware configurations based on system expectations.

excuse me, I like to be polite enough but I was clear when I asked the question - The question was for a Site like Code project with a lot of Question answers and forums and some static pages - not much of logic and processing.

One per box.

One per 35 or 50 ewes is recommended. More can cause fighting.

Three. I fake all the other responses.

You're new here aren't you?
On CodeProject it's not how many CPUs per server that defines performance, but how may hamsters.

And the number of hamsters are top secret, so Chris cant tell anyone...or he has to kill you...

I am afraid to tell you that the sentry Hamster "Big Dave" has caught wind of your conversation and has ordered the hamster hit squad!

Then I would ask the question in the Site Bugs/Suggestions forum instead...
