Get your copy, SQL Server 2008 RC0 is out

You may download a copy from this location:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=35F53843-03F7-4ED5-8142-24A4C024CA05&displaylang=en

File downloaded:SQLFULL_ENU_x86.exe 929.9MB

The following versions:Enterprise, Standard, Evaluation and Express(Standard & Advanced)

You can save a DVD Image or self-extracting executables for the following:
X86
X64
IA64
For XP Professional you need SP3 in the download page. Note that the Hardware & Software requirements for x86 still needing XP SP2

Some notes from release notes(I insist you read this):
* You can upgrade from Feb 2008 CTP and not Nov 2007 CTP
For Nov 2007: Upgrade to Feb 2008 CTP before installing the RC0

* Do not use ADD/ Remove Programs to make change sto features but use the
Installation Center Page provided during installation and which can be accessed
from the short-cut

* Stop and restart WMI Service on the computer if you are using the previous CTP
