Vista SP1 Leaked
Many partners in the Microsoft galaxy are none too pleased about Redmond’s decision earlier this week to withhold downloads of Vista service pack 1 until mid-March. But after a firestorm of online protest from disaffected partners, it appears that Microsoft may consider revising its decision.
The RTM, or release to manufacturing, versions of both operating systems can easily be found on BitTorrent tracker sites such as Pirate Bay, which has made them available since yesterday.
One torrent of Microsoft Corp.’s newest server operating system, Windows Server 2008, lists 42 “seeders,” the term for a computer that has a complete copy of the torrent file, and nearly 190 “leechers,” or computers that have downloaded only part of the complete torrent.
The Windows Server 2008 torrent installs a 60-day trial edition, according to users on Pirate Bay who have downloaded the 2.5GB disk image.
