Blah blah blah, you don't count since you can't pirate something that's free.

Fair enough. I'd consider it more of a workaround than an official solution though. Those links aren't really meant to be used by the general public. It looks like they're for people who have contracted a digital download of Windows.

Windows 7 has been officially launched, but Microsoft never makes available official download links that allow retail customers to download setup installer or ISO image of Windows 7, despite digital downloads have been the sole distribution channel for many that purchases from online store or on MSDN or TechNet subscriptions.

Many mass general public who requires a Windows 7 installation DVD or ISO image has to rely on BT torrent to download Windows 7 ISO from MSDN or TechNet Subscriber Downloads, and it carries the risk of getting fake, incorrect, malicious or infected images instead.

uhmmm it was srs question. i've never heard of a DNS redirect.
i've heard of DNS forwarding, but can't think of how that could be done on a standalone workstation.

so can you please at least let me know if i'm right? (host file)

there are two ways to do it (that I know of). One is to setup a static DNS that goes to a compromised DNS server. The other is to edit the host file. Either wouldn't be TOO hard to do.

yerp, kind of sad how people know they can get something for free and totally disregard paying for it no matter the price

The OS practically IS the computer, pony up you cheap bastards!
