Microsoft has released several DVD ISO images for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 with SP2 (Service Pack 2) beta integrated in Microsoft Connect for free download. Not many people can manage to get invite access or accepted into Microsoft Connect’s Windows Vista and WS 2008 beta program though. However, for users still want to try the new thing, the ISO images of the Windows Vista and WS (Windows Server) 2008 with SP2 integrated and slipstreamed have been leaked to Internet BitTorrent network.
