We are pleased to announce the release of the June 2007 Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Server 2008. This release contains a number of fixes and improvements, many in response to your feedback, since the Beta 3 milestone release. We ask that you please install and evaluate this build to verify fixed issues and assure we have no regressions. We look forward to your feedback on this release as you gage our progress toward the next milestone.
This release is available as a download only. The images posted are DVD images and the recommended approach is to download and burn a DVD appropriate for your hardware.
Important notes:
- You should use your existing key from the key package "Beta 2 Enterprise Server (v.5384) and Up Including v6001-16606.070619-1930". You may obtain separate keys for the Windows Server 2008 Web Server SKU from this package "Web Server (Build v6001-16497-070330-1720 and Up Including v6006.16606.070619-1930)".
- Please do NOT perform a an installation without providing your product key (A.K.A. PID-less installation) as it prevents us from getting the data we need to determine installation coverage
How to provide feedback and get support:
- Please file bugs! Make it a goal to send us at least (2) high quality bugs per week! You can report issues using the Microsoft Beta Client which you may install via the linked labeled, "How to Share Feedback" on the Windows Server 2008 desktop
- Post a Mini-Review! We will start a June CTP Mini-Review thread in the microsoft.beta.longhorn.beta_program newsgroup asking for your feedback. It is important that you reply only to that thread so we may compile all of the Mini-Reviews. Please do NOT start a new thread.
