Microsoft released Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview. You can download it from here.
In this evaluation you will see two options, one the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3 ISO and the other the Windows Server 2016 with Windows Server Containers image. When evaluating the new Windows Server Containers, we recommend you also view the additional documentation available on the MSDN Containers site.
These are early pre-releases. Many of the features and scenarios are still in development. As such, these builds are not intended for production environments, labs, nor full evaluations. This is pre-released software; features and functionality may differ in the final release.
