MS can't even follow 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'; far worse, judging by all the W10 updates that borking computers, it that MS can't manage my preferred mantra: 'if you can't fix it, don't break it'. Of course, W10 was broken from the start. Also, MS dumped its QA and are using us to test their own products.

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. -- Char Jackson |

If you're referring to this issue, it doesn't seem to have any relation to Windows ISOs. The 9-part story is about Amazon accusing them of violating the terms of their affiliate program because someone bought too many textbooks or something. https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/amazon-global/46-heidoc-net-vs-amazon-com-part-1-the-history-of-a-legal-dispute On the other point, maybe someone will test one or more of Heidoc's Dell images and let us know how it goes. -- Char Jackson |
