    When it's "Public" beta there will be lots of availablility. At the moment it's only for MSDN subscribers & as such if the 'public' get hold of it then the site in question would be breaking the EULA that Microsoft use for MSDN releases.

    There are illegal methods to get it, but like all warez and such, i cannot give that information.

    Ill just wait for a public release and try it out and that will make my decission if i ever go to vista (atm) or try for linux
