link to iso?

I do kinda wonder, with all the work MS put into making it easy to testdrive Vista with out a key and then purchase and add a key, all using the same iso regardless of what version you have, why they don't just publish an md5sum and link to a torrent.

The answer is NO.
Here is how
I've done it and it took 7 business days for MS to ship me the 64 bit version.

I once for all, will never go back to 32.
64 is here to stay.
As a matter of fact I've been on 64 since the x64 infancy days.
Vista 64 bit forever...It rocks...Well sort of...;)
