MSTN (Microsoft Software and Technology News) is reporting that the CTP of Windows Vista (the first supposed “feature-complete” version) Build 5308 has officially been released via Microsoft Connect. If you’re like me and you’re not invited to try it out then your out of luck. (This bulid is the Enterprise edition of Vista.) No doubt a mad .torrent hunt will be started by many tonight. Read the article at MSTN here.

Update: There’s a MUCH more informative article over at BetaNews now (as the news begins to make it’s way through the “internets.” )
