Take these with a grain of salt because i do not know if they work yet. However the files do exist.
In any case hurry before they take them down ;)

Are you sure these links are the RTM?
Is this the same as the escrow build or is it different?
I managed to download both of them with no issues by the way.

Well no beta remarks anywhere, the file size and name is exactly as the RTM one so i don't have reason to say otherwise.
Your post just faded into view without me refreshing my browser. That was so cool, I didn't know this was possible :)
ITs a new feature for them. Damn, I really want to go to SP2. This whole wait game sucks! :)
by: WarEagleAUThere is no wait game, the links are above :laugh:

I want to download this, but I don't know why. Why am I so eager to download a service pack? I need to take a break. :laugh:

I just got it about 5 minutes ago. I must have just got it in time :cool:
If anyone knows how I can share such a big file, I'm all ears to posting a link for you guys.
THE X86 LINK WORKS, I just confirmed it, you just have to keep trying.
At first I was getting "......exe.html" instead of just the exe. Kept trying and finally got just the "......exe"

Perhaps many tried to download it from the links i provided here and some other forums...
Hope everyone can get them in time, MS will most likely pull them down.

I found some rapidshare links for these updates,if anyone wants em.
Seems to me that they have removed the links, damn you MS, I hate to wait ;(
Try again, there must be hundreds of simultaneous downloads that why they dont work.
v286 is the release candidate (build number 16676). It is NOT the RTM version (build number 18005).
Go here for the torrents to the leaked RTM version.

I was about to install but I noticed it was a "pre-release" and expires next year.
both of those links worked for me... very slow downliading tho
by: DarknovaThank you for this. Above downloads are not the RTM people.
