I'd be very interested.  I have a W2003 server to retire.  The server
is a VM, so breaking it isn't an issue.

Unfortunately getting the customer to get off his @r$e is very much an
issue.  I only managed to retire the same customer's W2000 server when
its hardware finally died *last*October* so don't hold your breath.
