Windows 8 now available on TechNet and MSDN




Windows 8 on TechNet.

If you’ve got yourself access to one of Microsoft’s MSDN or TechNet programs, the day you’ve likely been anticipating has arrived – Microsoft has just posted the bits and keys for Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 Pro N, Windows 8 Enterprise, and Windows 8 Enterprise N on the two programs.

Using these, you’ll be able to install and activate a non-expiring version of Windows 8 to test on your machines. A quick reminder though – although these images don’t expire (even after your subscription does), it is illegal to use these on a production machine or for personal use. So now that we’ve gotten through that with a straight face – go on and download!

Update 08/15/2012 @ 1:55 PM EST: We can now confirm that the build of Windows 8 on TechNet and MSDN is indeed 6.2.9200.16384 (win8_rtm.120725-1247), the same exact build that was claimed to be RTM that leaked on the web last week.
