Not legally today, with the release next week.

Thank you for your interest in Windows Vista. The Customer Preview Program is now closed. We have reached our program capacity and no new orders are being accepted. The information on this page is intended for those people who have already received Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 (RC1).

if your work place or uni/college/school gets it and they have some MSDN system then you can get it

No problem, also it was a huge download...If your thinking about getting, I would browse this board and others reading about any problems before diving into it. It is a memory hog. I have 1.5GB memory and it does use some....

big download if you're on a small connection, took me about 1.5hours on 16mb line, getting nice speeds :)

one thing to consider if you are going to download. If you are going to upgrade several computers, you could lose any discounts for additional computers. So far all the discounts I have seen requires you to purchase the box version.

Hey there,

Murf was kind enough to make a thread with a link to a website that allowed you to "test drive" vista business edition. Here is that link:
