  1. From the download page:

    Note: This CTP is for testing purposes only. Features and functionality may change before final release, and Microsoft may choose not to provide a final release.

    Also, in the EULA.rtf:

    1. TERM. The term of this agreement is until 1 January 2009, or commercial release of the software, whichever is first.

    So actually it has expired and you are not licensed to use it. And even if it hadn’t:

    • You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your premises to design, develop and test your programs for use with the software.
    • You may not test the software in a live operating environment unless Microsoft permits you to do so under another agreement.

    So no, you can not use it in a production environment without violating the license.
