Just click next if you don't have anything to change
Click on "Install now" to continue, on the next page it then asked for the product key which was provided to me during the process of downloading the ISO file.
After entering the product key I left the "Automatically activate Windows when I'm online" box checked.
Now it will give 2 options "Windows Longhorn SERVERENTERPRISE" or "Windows Longhorn SERVERENTERPRISECORE" and If you wish to have a minimal installation of Windows Server choose Windows Longhorn SERVERENTERPRISECORE then click Next on the succeeding page check the "I accept the licesence terms" and click on the Next button to continue.
On the following screen it will ask you on what type of installation you want. Choose the one that suites your requirments, my case I got only one option.
Click on the Option.
and Next on the page were you are ask where to install Windows (since there is no partitioning on a VPC).
Wait until the installation is complete.
then there... you have your newly Install Windows Sever 2008 Beta 3 up and running. After this you have still have to configure what roles your going to set on your server. I think there's 17 of them... I still have to long way to explore with this new server OS, getting more excited now than ever...
