Microsoft has released the latest version of their Windows product called as Windows 8 and it is in RELEASE PREVIEW now. Release Preview is actually a Release Candidate build, just some changes to the terminologies.
Windows 8 Release Preview is available for download through http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/release-preview and MSDN Subscribers can download from the MSDN Subscription downloads.
