I think that Vista Image was bad. I downloaded that file 4 times, from 4 different PCs. I used several different tools to load that ".img" file into a virutal Drive. I found that several files (autoload.dll, arunres.dll, boot.win...etc) with all null "0". Not a single "1" in them. Thus it looks like we bought a lot of "0" and no "1"s. I called Microsoft on it. A "SA Support" rep, verified my findings and told me that his manager was having somebody work on it 10am this morning 11/20/2006. That was 4 downloads at 3/4 hours each. yuck... but I will try for my 5th download on Tuesday of next week anyway.
