Getting Beta Software on a DVD

Hi,

I wanted to get the Visual Studio 2008 Pro (Beta 2) software, at lease the
C++ subsystem. The Microsoft web site has it as a free download. The problem
I'm having is that it is to large to download by dial-up. Its over 3 GBs. I
was wondering, due Microsoft have supporters that mail software on CD/DVD
for a small fee in behave of Microsoft?

In a word, no.
Do you know somebody who has a high speed connection who can download and
burn it for you?

I'm not sure if I can get a friend to download and burn a CD, but I can try.
