From: "Tony Ingenoso" 

Its so legally crippled its virtually worthless - even as a pure web
server. Apparently you can't even have the thing export basic file shares
which is something a lot of LAN backup schemes would want to use, or anyone
doing maintenance on the hosted sites.

> SOFTWARE LICENSE
>
> The Software may contain the following:
>
>   * "Server Software" provides services or functionality on the
>     Computer ("Server"); and
>
>   * "Device Software" allows a single personal computer,
>     workstation, terminal, handheld computer, pager, telephone,
>     personal digital assistant, or other electronic device (
>     "Device") to access or use the Server Software.
>
>  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.  Manufacturer grants you the following
>     rights, conditioned on your compliance with all the terms
>     and conditions of this EULA:
>
>     a. Server Software.  Except as otherwise specifically
>     provided in this EULA, you may install, use, access,
>     display and run only one copy of Server Software on the
>     Server, even if multiple copies of Server Software (for
>     example, 32-bit and 64-bit versions) are included in the
>     Software.  Separate component parts of the Server Software
>     may only be used on the single Server.
>
>     b. Processor Rights.  You may use Server Software with up to
>     two CPUs of the Server at any one time.
>
>     c. Usage Rights.  The Server Software may be used solely for
>     deployment of Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, Web
>     services, and POP3 mail serving.  You may install web
>     server software (for example, Microsoft Internet
>     Information Services), non-enterprise database engine
>     software licensed to support not more than twenty-five (25)
>     concurrent users (for example, Microsoft SQL Server Desktop
>     Engine), or web availability management software (for
>     example, Microsoft Application Center).  These applications
>     may access data from any one or more of the following
>     applications deployed on a separate server:
>
>        (i) database software (such as Microsoft SQL Server), and
>
>        (ii) business application software (for example,
>        enterprise email, enterprise resource planning, and
>        customer relationship management).
>
>      Any other usage of the Server Software is not permitted.
>
>     d. Device Software.  You may install and use the Device
>     Software on any Device solely to access or use the Server
>     Software.
>
>     e. Mandatory Activation.  THE SERVER SOFTWARE
>     CONTAINS TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES THAT ARE
>     DESIGNED TO PREVENT UNLICENSED OR
>     ILLEGAL USE OF THE SERVER SOFTWARE.
>     The license rights granted under this EULA are limited to
>     the first thirty (30) days after you first run the Server
>     Software unless you supply information required to activate
>     your licensed copy in the manner described during the setup
>     sequence (unless Manufacturer has activated for you).  You
>     can activate the Server Software through the use of the
>     Internet or telephone; toll charges may apply.  You may
>     also need to reactivate the Server Software if you modify
>     the Server or alter the Server Software.  Microsoft
>     Licensing, Inc. ("MS"), Microsoft Corporation and its
>     subsidiaries will use those measures to confirm you have
>     a legally licensed copy of the Server Software.  If you are
>     not using a licensed copy of the Server  Software, you are
>     not allowed to install the Server Software or future Server
>     Software updates.  MS, Microsoft Corporation and its
>     subsidiaries will not collect any personally identifiable
>     information from your computer during this process.
>
>     f. Back-up Copy.  YOU MAY MAKE A
>     SINGLE BACK-UP COPY OF THE SOFTWARE.
>     You may use one (1) back-up copy solely for your archival
>     purposes and to reinstall the Software on the Server.
>     Except as expressly provided in this EULA or by local law,
>     you may not otherwise make copies of the Software,
>     including the printed materials accompanying the Software.
>     You may not loan, rent, lease, lend or otherwise transfer
>     the CD or back-up copy to another user.
>
>     g. Additional Rights.  You may contact Manufacturer regarding
>     availability of additional rights to install and use the
>     Server Software accompanying this EULA on your other
>     Manufacturer-branded servers installed with
>     Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition as licensed to you
>     by Manufacturer.
>
>  2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
>
>     a. Other Licenses.  Your use of software applications
>     installed on the Server, accessed through the Server, or
>     providing application-sharing functionality may require
>     additional licenses.  Please consult the license agreement
>     accompanying such software.
>
>     b. Client Access Licenses Not Applicable.  Client access
>     licenses ("CALs") are not applicable under this EULA, and
>     any CALs you acquire do not convey any rights with respect
>     to the Software.
>
>     c. Automatic Internet-Based Services.  The Software features
>     described below are enabled by default to connect via the
>     Internet to Microsoft Corporation computer systems
>     automatically, without separate notice to you.  You consent
>     to the operation of these features, unless you choose to
>     switch them off or not use them.  Microsoft Corporation
>     does not obtain personally identifiable information through
>     any of these features.  For more information about these
>     features, please see your Software documentation.
>
>        (i) Windows Update Features.  Under the Software's default
>        configuration, if you connect a device to the Server
>        and the correct device driver is not available on the
>        Server, then Windows Update features on the Server
>        (including Device Manager and the Plug & Play CDM
>        Module) automatically attempt to check Microsoft
>        Corporation computer systems via the Internet for the
>        correct device driver.  Having this happen automatically
>        makes Plug-and-Play installation of new hardware a
>        better experience for customers.  You may switch off
>        Windows Update's automatic driver checking feature.
>
>        (ii) Web Content Features.  Under the Software's default
>        configuration, if you are connected to the Internet,
>        several features of the Software are enabled by default
>        to retrieve content from Microsoft Corporation computer
>        systems and display it to you.  When you activate such
>        a feature, it uses standard Internet protocols, which
>        transmit the type of operating system, browser and
>        language code of the Server to the Microsoft Corporation
>        computer system so that the content can be viewed
>        properly from the Server.  These features only operate
>        when you activate them, and you may choose to switch
>        them off or not use them.  Examples of these features
>        include Windows Catalog and Search Assistant.
>
>        (iii) Digital Certificates.  Use of certificates based on
>        the X.509 standard is an important security feature
>        of the Software.  Certain functions of the X.509
>        implementation (for example, certificate revocation
>        checking and certificate path building) connect via
>        the Internet to computer systems belonging to Microsoft
>        Corporation and other digital certificate authorities
>        to check the validity of digital certificates that
>        you receive from third parties during certain Internet
>        -based operations (for example, communications secured
>        with SSL or IPsec, mail secured with S/MIME, and
>        smartcard authentication).  In accordance with the
>        X.509 standard, the Software automatically retrieves
>        user certificates and certificate revocation lists
>        when you attempt to access certificate protected
>        content.  Additionally, the Software's Auto Root Update
>        feature will occasionally update the list of trusted
>        certificate authorities.  Auto Root Update is an
>        optional feature; you can uninstall it if you do not
>        desire it to function.  The other security operations
>        based on the X.509 standard can be prevented from
>        operating by blocking the Server's Internet access.
>
>        (iv) Windows Media Player.  Some features of Windows Media
>        Player automatically contact Microsoft Corporation
>        computer systems if you use Windows Media Player or
>        specific features of it:  features that (A) check for
>        new codecs if the Server does not have the correct
>        ones for content you attempt to play (this feature
>        may be switched off), and (B) check for new versions
>        of Windows Media Player (this feature will operate
>        only when you are using Windows Media Player).
>
>     d. Benchmark Testing.  The Software contains the Microsoft
>     .NET Framework.  Disclosure of the results of any benchmark
>     test of the .NET Framework component of the Software to any
>     third party without Microsoft Corporation's prior written
>     approval is prohibited.
>
>     e. Single EULA.  The package for the Software may contain
>     multiple versions of this EULA, such as multiple
>     translations and/or multiple media versions (e.g., in the
>     user documentation and in the software).  In this case, you
>     are only licensed to use one (1) copy of the Software.
>
>     f. Language Version Selection. Manufacturer may have elected
>     to provide you with a one-time selection of language
>     versions of the Software as part of the Software setup
>     process.  In such event, you are licensed to use only one
>     of the language versions provided.  Once you have used a
>     language version, you are not licensed to use any of the
>     other language versions that Manufacturer may have included
>     in with the Server.  Notwithstanding the preceding, if
>     Manufacturer has elected to provide you with a Multilingual
>     User Interface ("MUI") for certain language versions with
>     additional language version support of the Software, the
>     preceding limitation to select and use only one language
>     version of the Software shall not apply, so long as (i) you
>     acknowledge that the MUI, and the language support
>     contained therein, is a part of the Software, (ii) you only
>     use the MUI with the Software, and (iii) you comply with
>     all of the other terms and conditions of this EULA.
>
>     g. Reservation of Rights; Other Restrictions. The Software is
>     protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws
>     and treaties.  MS, Microsoft Corporation or its suppliers
>     own the title, copyright, and other intellectual property
>     rights in the Software.  The Software is licensed, not
>     sold.  Manufacturer, MS and its suppliers (including
>     Microsoft Corporation) reserve all rights not expressly
>     granted to you in this EULA.  Notwithstanding any other
>     provision in this EULA, neither this EULA nor any CAL
>     grants a license, under any MS or Microsoft Corporation
>     intellectual property, to implement any functionality
>     contained in the Software (including without limitation
>     communication protocols used by the Software) in any
>     software installed on a Device accessing or utilizing the
>     Server Software.  Reverse engineering, decompiling, or
>     disassembling the Software is prohibited, except and only
>     to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by
>     applicable law notwithstanding this limitation. Renting,
>     leasing, or lending the Software (including providing
>     commercial hosting services) is also prohibited.
>

>     of this EULA apply to Microsoft updates, supplements, add
>     -on components, or Internet-based services components of
>     the Software ("Supplemental Components") that Manufacturer,
