I didn't see it on there either.

Really nice branding in this one. They changed "Windows Server (TM)" to "Windows Server (R)

". Interestingly, this is called a RC, so maybe it's (pre-)RC1?.

Very Nice and Clean. They seem to be in the home-stretch now. I definatley prefer this version over Vista any day.

I agree, I would use this over Vista any day.

XDude · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Thu Sep 06, 2007 10:41 pm

Was it on connect yesterday?
I got a copy somewhere else and installed it. Looks great, loads fast and way better than vista.

Edit: build tag is 6001.16648.longhorn_rc0.070827-1405
A RC0 build should be release soon since I don't think this is the RC0 build.

XDude, could you please upload it to the ftp?

// Edit: Got a fast torrent

Please someone upload it, or post a torrent link

If someone posts a torrent I'll use the AbyssUnderground FTP to get it.

Only a few more months until this is released and it is looking really good already, it probably is too early to use this as a regular operating system, wait for RC1 or RC2 I guess...

Recently they said that they were delaying it until next year though

(and Vista SP1 will come out at around the same time).

February 2008, that's what I've heard.

Did anyone uploaded already?
I found a torrent, but no seeders.

hypr · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:12 pm

I will download Beta 3 when the weather is better lots of wind and a storm tonight (wireless)

I like how it looks, its clean I know those who hate vista will either switch to Server 2008, Linus, Mac or keep with XP.

XDude · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Fri Sep 07, 2007 7:49 pm

I didn't use a torrent to get it, and it's too big for me to upload.

iwanttogohome · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:53 pm

I downloaded it off winbeta IRC

Edit:
Heres a link to a torrent

Again this torrent doesnt have seeders and the tracker says:

Connection limited exceeded! You may only leech from only location at a time.

Please, someone just upload it to sillyproject.
Then your going to make me and many people happy.

Edit:
@m4rkuz
This is the SAME TORRENT as ''iwanttogohome'' posted.
