I just found this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/unixproresources/

which allowed me to order it for "free" rather than $99. The offer expired at the end of last year, but my order seems to have gone through. Note that "free" is relative.... I had to use a credit card which was billed $11.90.

You could also try knoppix, which is linux that runs completely off a bootable cd with no need to install.
Here's a link for more info: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
