Windows SDK February CTP is live!
Whoo hoo! Can't wait for users to take a look at the result of all of our hard work.
That said, please note that you must be in the Beta program to get a copy of the Windows Vista OS. You can download the Windows SDK; however, without the OS bits you'll only be able tp develop for the WinFX platform and downlevel OSs.
This version of the Windows SDK supports the February CTP of Windows Vista that is available to Windows Vista Beta Program members and MSDN subscribers. It also supports the down-level WinFX RC February CTP.
For this release, the Windows SDK is available as either a full DVD ISO image that enables you to run setup on a local machine or as a Web download that enables you to launch setup over the web and download only the components you select during setup.
This is a CTP release...it's not beta quality so make sure to read the readme!
The links are:
It will be very busy today, so please be patient with the download servers.

With my MSDN sub, I can download Vista 5270, but 5308 isn't avaiable. What's up with that? - Anonymous

We don't manage the MSDN release, but I believe there's a lag between our release and its addition to the subscriber site. - Anonymous
