*TechNet forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums (redirects to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/de-de, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us, etc. for different language settings with different content)
 
*TechNet Evaluation Center: http://technet.microsoft.com/evalcenter/ (redirects to http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/, etc. for different languages, although the content should be the same)
