The RTM Build of Windows 8 is now available for download via MSDN and TechNet. Remember, you have to own a paid MSDN or TechNet subscription in order to access the Windows 8 RTM bits, but if you do here are pages where you’ll find the download links:

MSDN –  http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/default.aspx#searchTerm=windows&ProductFamilyId=0&Languages=en&PageSize=50&PageIndex=0&FileId=0

TechNet – http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/default.aspx#searchTerm=windows&ProductFamilyId=0&Languages=en&PageSize=50&PageIndex=0&FileId=0

UPDATE 8/15/2012: It looks like the MSDN and TechNet servers weren’t able to deal with the number of subscribers crowding to download Windows 8 RTM. For the time being Windows 8 RTM downloads can no longer be accessed on MSDN and TechNet.

First thing that comes to mind is that Microsoft should have prepared better for this. But I have no doubts that the Redmond company is working to resolve the issue as I write this.

UPDATE: It looks like the download links are back up.
