Vista - The new Vista ISO download

Is there any way to "convert" or whatever is needed to be done to install the
download by us poor folks who have a DVD player but not a burner without
ordering the disk from Microsoft?

Good news! There is a very easy way to do that. Virtual Drive Emulation! Just
look for, and download a program called DAEMON Tools. It lets you mount the
image to a VIRTUAL DVD Burner. You can install from there (from what I hear
at least)

Just be sure to deselect the search bar option when installing it -
otherwise you will get spyware.

I personally used Daemon Tools 4.03 and NERO Image drive to install Vista
x64 and x86 respectively. You can also extract the contents of the ISO image
using ISO Buster to a folder in your existing operating system and launch
setup from there.

The daemontools that I downloaded via the link on Zack's VistaBase web site
did *not* work for me on an NT 4 system: only the readme.txt file was
visible when the image was mounted. My solution was to move the dvd image
to my Fedora Core 5 machine, do a "mount -t udf -o loop", extract the files
to a samba share and then do the install from an expendible XP machine over
the network. Worked just fine.
