Windows Longhorn Server April CTP has just been made available for download to official tech beta testers over at Microsoft Connect<\/a>. The last build available was 6001-16497-070330-1510 for the February CTP, released two months ago.\n<\/p>\n

The LHS April ’07 CTP is build 6001-16497-070330-1720 and adds quite a few new features, and brings LHS down to the real playing field. With the April CTP, it seems we can finally say that Microsoft has a real beta product on their hands – unlike previous LHS builds that had a general incomplete feel to them.\n<\/p>\n

Pay close attention to the services, application server, and MMC – quite a few changes to keep up with. With 1720, Microsoft has made available 9 binary downloads, including the general x86\/x64 installation media<\/a>, the LHS WDK<\/a>, the April CTP for the Itanic<\/a>, in addition to the usual symbol packages for each build as well as the Checked Builds for developers.\n<\/p>\n

x64: wsl_6001-16497-070330-1720_x86fre_server-KB3SFRE_EN_DVD.iso crc: 0x238801E6<\/code> x86: wsl_6001-16497-070330-1720_x64fre_server-KB3SxFRE_EN_DVD.iso crc: 0xB27FF9A0<\/code><\/p>\n

The LHS April CTP is only available in English (just like Vista – expect German, Arabic, and Japanese somewhere around RC 1). You will have to perform a clean install, as the LHS April CTP will not upgrade previous installations. The (short & sweet) release notes for this build are also available<\/a>. Please note that all download links require authentication.\n<\/p>\n

NeoSmart Technologies will have screenshots<\/a> up before long – and we may even give our first full review of LHS based on this build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
