Hello Guys, would you like to make a Win7PE LiveCD but you don't have a Complete (for complete I mean untuched) Windows 7 DVD? Well I can give you the link where you can download it!

Here is the official download page

http://technet.micro...r/cc442495.aspx

you will need a Windows Live ID and you will have to complete a form before you can download the ISO (download is allowed only for IT Managers.

After that you will be redirected to the download page that will open a new browser window that will lunch an ActiveX script (if you are using IE) or a Java Applet (if you are using another browser). this applet is a Download manager that will create an html file on your desktop that allows you to Download again the iso from where the download was interrupted

if you don't want to download the x86 ISO directly without compile the form use this link to my website then.

It is only that file that redirect to the download page that i've mentioned again so you don't need to be worried.

Hope you will enjoy my help.

Well, beside the fact that the "legally" is highly questionable (the Author has imposed some limits to allow the download that you attempt to workaround), have you actually tried that link (say from another machine)?

Good , since it doesn't work "as-is", that's on one hand avoiding any Legal implications , but on the other it is perfectly UNuseful if someone should actually want to use that link .

MS moved to a more welcoming user experience & OS discovery model since change in leadership. Coupled with improved OS quality, it resulted in improved corporate image perception and skyrocketed sales. Current policy was spelled out as "not fighting with mad scientists, unless their activity results in notable profit loss". One may think, mailing a Warning Letter doesn't cost much - multiplied by thousands, it does.
