Your kidding, right? it's an UNRELEASED OS. the only way to get it would be for somebody with an MSDN subscription to UPLOAD a COPY of the Developers preview for other to DOWNLOAD.

It is.

They've sent me an authorised download and if i share it with anyone then yes BC is right....
Along with Server 2008.

One of the reasons this happens is everyone wants to be the "hero" and upload it first...

But without getting it from them directly .....oh well.

Aren't all of the beta testers for MS bound by NDA's (Non-Disclosure Agreements)? Sounds like somebody broke theirs...

With the amount of freebies they pass out it's just stupid to violate that agreement and risk getting kicked...
