Paying customers may not get their hands on Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 for weeks, but pirates can download the brand-new code for either today, according to searches at several BitTorrent trackers.

The RTM, or release to manufacturing, versions of both operating systems can easily be found on BitTorrent tracker sites such as the 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.

Technically this would be illegal.  Although, one could argue if they already own Vista, that technically it isn't.

Technically it ISN'T illegal. Microsoft and the EULA both have stated many a times before that you do not own windows and never will. You own only the Serial number to install it.

So if they are offering the Full OS for download without any cracks or serials the it is not illegal.

Then you could download the intergrated version and use your own serial (bought one) and install legally.
