Microsoft has accidentally made links available to download Windows Vista build 5308. This is not the most current build that has been floating around the Internet, but this build can be directly downloaded from Microsoft. No key is provided (obviously) so you will have to do some work to find one.
This link has been up for days and amazingly Microsoft has yet to take it down. The most current build is 5342 which is currently available by a Torrent download.

Wow, great find. You think Microsoft purposely leaked it? No nevermind, that couldn’t be… >_>
I wouldn’t say it was on purpose, but you never know with Microsoft. Maybe they are tracking people who are downloading it
. It is kinda odd that it has been up for so long, I would have to imagine that they have realized hundreds of people have downloaded the file from the same URL. I guess that is an oops on their behalf.
