Windows 8 90-day Evaluation available free to all IT Pros

Windows 8 reached the RTM stage a little while ago and the final version of Windows 8 has been made available to those with an MSDN or TechNet subscription or a Microsoft Volume Licensing/Software Assurance agreement. In order to get Windows 8 in more hands before its general availability, Microsoft is allowing all IT professionals to download a 90-day evaluation of Windows 8 Enterprise in 32-bit or 64-bit variants.
