Someone who is interested, can download and check for us
whether this media is different in any way.

Since the availability of the download is just as crappy
as it was six months ago, I don't see a reason to get
too excited about this media. A typical user would
need to use Heidoc to get it, and Heidoc got "burned"
on its current Win7 delivery method, so don't expect
them to care quite as much about delivery.

I haven't seen any difference in the Heidoc method lately, so I'd be
hard pressed to conclude that they got burned in any way. Everything
that was available is still available, and then some. (see below)

People who bought Retail Win7, already have media,
and they would be the only people qualifying for this.
A Dell or HP user cannot download the media, for as long
as the license key check on the web page, only
allows Retail keys. OEM keys don't work (I tried that
with the Acer laptop key a couple years ago).

Heidoc recently added a big bunch of Dell-specific images. I don't have
the right Dell model to be able to take advantage, but I'm inclined to
say they're fine, based on Heidoc's history of success.
