Recently Microsoft reported that Windows 8 will become available for consumers in October 2012, but also mentioned that several groups of users will have earlier access to their latest OS. A large group are Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscribers and they will receive access to the final (RTM) version of Windows 8 today including Windows 8 RT, the ARM version targeted at tablets. As the RTM version leaked pretty much the day after it was released to Microsoft partners and employees, it's expected that the MSDN versions will hit torrent websites soon after the release.
Microsoft releases Windows 8 to MSDN subscribers so they can get new applications ready or test current applications on the new OS. Tomorrow also Microsoft software insurance customers will receive access which could be another opportunity for the operating system to be leaked.
Update: Microsoft has made it available on their website.
