Windows Server 2008 RC1 is publicly available
Windows Server 2008, which is scheduled to release to manufacturing (RTM) by the February 27 launch event, reached the RC1 milestone today and is available to customers for public download at http://www.microsoft.com/ws08eval.
With RC1, Microsoft is enhancing Group Policy with Group Policy Preferences, formerly known as PolicyMaker Standard Edition and Policy Share Manager. As the code approaches final signoff, RC1 is one of the last opportunities for customers and partners to evaluate it and provide feedback.
The product requires a valid product key for activation within 30 days after installation.
This time-limited release of Windows Server 2008 Release Candidate will expire on June 30, 2008.
A Customer Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Server virtualization is also included in this release as a part of the Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter 64-bit editions.
