This one has been on the front page for like 5 days already, no point in re-posting it here a week late... Besides, it's just yet another CTP (there was one in December, and many before that too). Not much of a news flash either (not interesting for the vast majority of people, and those who actually have a need for it most likely already saw the news in some RSS feed or msdn blog or such anyways), especially if you look at all the issues. Even for a CTP/beta, it's not exactly up to snuff (not really worth the 6GB download + 20GB disk space IMO).

KRYOGENIUS: they say the password is "P2ssw0rd" (no @). Haven't tried it yet though. Going to reformat soon (the twice yearly reformat thing) and try it after... But I gotta update the old unattended install first I guess (or perhaps I could even try Vista)

But online, microsoft says "P@ssw0rd" !

Well, I though have thought they would have used a @ instead of a "a" ("L33T speak" heh), and forgot the shift (purposedly?) so they ended up with a 2 instead of a @ or something like that.

But from the main page:

Username: Administrator Password: P2ssw0rd (NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends that immediately after installation you log in and change the administrator password)

Could be a typo...
