It looks like R 2.14.0 alpha is available on CRAN:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html

That's temporary: R-devel should point to R-devel, not to the alpha. Soon there will be three links: one for R-patched (based on 2.13.2, probably without any changes unless some emergency crops up), one for R-testing (the alpha, beta, RC series), and one for R-devel (2.15.0-to-be).

"Soon" might mean tomorrow, or it might take longer.
