System Center 2016 and Windows Server 2016 available for download now!

As for today System Center 2016 and Windows Server 2016 bits are available for download. Strange that Microsoft decided to announce General Availability (GA) during Microsoft Ignite, and publish bits two weeks later for download?

Within System Center 2016, the 1606 version of Configuration Manager is included. Customers still on ConfigMgr 2012 (R2) can upgrade directly to 1606 now. No need to upgrade to 1511 (RTM) first and upgrade to 1606 afterwards.
