2008 Server Nov CTP (RC1?) released

According to blogs, a Nov CTP has been released but only to Connect subscribers.. I'm just an MSDN bod and it's not on there yet so I'm wondering if anyone has a download yet? I'm interested to see the change list from RC0 to RC1 that's all

downloading rc0 now.

let me know if you find any info dude.

Still no sign, so I installed RC0. Interesting to see what Vista would look like without all the fancy Aero stuff bolted on. So far so good (its installed and running)

I've been running RC0 for quite a while now dual-boot on one of my 2003 Server boxes, it's pretty stable and is running 24/7 as a *main* server.. intrigued to find out what the changes are for RC1 though. Hyper-V (Viridian) is quite a winner, I even got some Linux VM's working under it even though they aren't supposed to work yet

What I have working so far as VM's:

It doesn't seem any slower than VMWare Server, or Xen under RHEL so I'm pretty cool with it - it's worth a try if nothing else..

Anyone know what if any improvements we are going to see to AD under 2k8? we have been considering a move to 2003 r2 as it has a couple of useful features but I'm tempted to shelve it and wait on 2k8.

Are you running 2003 at the moment?
R2 isnt really an upgrade. Its literally just a few new snap-in applications and new windows logo. Might as well do it now tbh.
