Few days back, Windows 8 Enterprise RTM version got leaked just before the official availability of Windows 8 through official channels like MSDN and Technet. If you are have a MSDN or Technet subscription, you can get hands on the official final version of Windows 8 using those subscriptions as Microsoft has released the final version of Windows 8 to MSDN and TechNet subscribers today. But most of us have no access to these channels and still we can have access to final version of Windows 8 even though its a 90-day trial or evaluation.
The 90-day trial edition of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions Windows 8 Enterprise is available for download. Windows 8 Enterprise ISO images are available in the following languages:
- Chinese (Simplified),
- Chinese (Traditional),
- English,
- English (UK),
- French,
- German,
- Italian,
- Japanese,
- Korean,
- Portuguese (Brazil), and
- Spanish.
This comes without any technical support and cannot be upgraded if you wish to upgrade it to a full licensed version lateron. If you want to install the full licensed Windows 8, you need a clean install over this.
Following the evaluation period, you will need to replace the operating system on your test computer and reinstall all your programs and data. It is not possible to upgrade the evaluation to a licensed working version of Windows 8. A clean installation is required.
Are you going to try Windows 8 evaluation version?

Just confirmed that download links are correct, same as that provided by Microsoft. But yes, at the moment they are not working. Will try to get alternate links and update the download links as soon as i get them.
Update: Just checked again and links are working. Keep in mind that you need to login using your Windows live or hotmail or outlook.com account to access the download.

Upon installation, you will have 10 days to activate this evaluation online. Windows will prompt you to activate. A product key is not required for this software.
