Its 5 month old news. This has been a public download for everybody since then. Publish date means nothing, stuff gets reposted on the Download Center all the time.
Yes, I downloaded it already months ago.
Version: 1.0
Date Published: 9/4/2007"
So what is the difference between this and the older one? is it just re-branded Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 but other then that, still the same as the previous release??

There is none. As I said in another post, stuff gets reposted on the Download Center all the time; ISO names are even the same as the original ones released to *everybody* in April:

No. Again, check your facts before posting. It has been a public download for everybody from the first day it was released in April. If you don't believe me:

88 miles per hour! Sorry, I'm old.
lol, nice one
Who cares? We do. So should Neowin also start posting again that Vista has RTM'd? If that's your logic, it doesn't matter how old the news is that gets posted even though its common knowledge everywhere as this Server 2008 Beta 3 download was.

The people that care are those that come to neowin and expect to get fresh news that isn't just a re-spew of news that was posted months ago. I don't think that is too much to ask really.

How about next time... you just go to a different story. Not. Hard. To. Do.
