Longhorn Server Build 5600 - x86 Leaked

Does anybody know or care that this server build has just been leaked? People that have it say that it is way better than Vista RC1. I may give it a shot. I've never gave the server version a thought. I even got a key.

PRO cannot give support to illegal leaked copies.

don't let this topic get to the point of asking for a link or acutally posting one please

Lips are sealed. It should be out for legal testers soon anyway. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it though. Just a thought.

Actually, Longhorn Server Build 5600 was released yesterday to Tech Beta Testers in the Vista/Lonhorn Beta program on connect :yesnod:

Now you have me interested. Dl'ing it now from Connect. I guess the 1GB they took out is all the eye-candy. Ya, should run faster but I ain't gonna buy it as I don't need it. It's nice to have a chance to try it though.

Just added some Longhorn Server Build 5600 screenshots to the Windows Vista RC1 Screenshot Gallery, and I am pleased to say, full Aero Glass works great in this build, although it is not enabled by default (you have to install Desktop Enhancements and Themes.)

I should have some shots tomorrow morning/midmorning............. I'm doing an overnight d/l and I've cleared ALL pre RC1 stuff, since I've finished my upgrade testing of VB2->RC1......... plus I wanna get some server experience........

I'm glad you guys are posting pics here. I guess with all the hoopla about Vista, the server version sort of got forgotten. Just looking at the screenshots so far, I think the server addition is the way to go. Eventually, all of us in the IT business will have to get to know it to a certain degree anyway. M$ is already probably chomping at the bit trying to get all the new Certifications ready.
