Now I can say for sure that no "MediaCenter-EnabledSku" policy, for the program, is equivalent to "MediaCenter-EnabledSku = 0" WMC clearly looks for the explicitly allowed policy, not to the explicitly forbidden one. Wich means that the only practical reason to use this build is gone. You need the patched version anyway
Then again, almost everything (except 9780-9821, 9834, 9838, 9845, 9907 fbl_ie and 10537 th2_sigma_grfx_dev) until 14965 doesn't boot on current date, so you're out of luck anyway.
I have it on crossbread edition, not tested yet because I have the UAC disabled Can yo check on your "pureblood" version with product policy editor if you have the "MediaCenter-EnabledSku" policy?
It lacks HyperCore and its best activation method ever Jokes aside let me understand, was the betarchive iso different from the one on archive.org or you assembled the ISO starting from packages alone?
The iso that is on archive.org is from BetaArchive. 14357.1000 is unstaged, and you cannot apply the wim itself through dism. You have to boot into winpe and actually install it and then you get a normal install. Unstaged as it's used on BetaArchive means that the build has no edition staged to the wim, which means you can select any edition available on the component share (the "packages" folder at the root of a wim) to install during setup.
Ok I'm getting officially too old, never seen a WIM organized like that, it even crashes gimagex. The last time I used the setup from the ISO for a fresh install was when the UK was still a colony of the Roman Empire

In the vista days I was too busy uninstalling it. I had even a badge with the writing "authorized vista uninstaller". Today is different, Vista and Server 2008 (especially the web server edition) are pretty stable and decently fast. So short answer: NO
