Windows Vista Retail Direct Link from Microsoft Leaked
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 13.4.2007
2 days ago, there is Windows Vista retail download links posted on some forums. That seems pretty normal as there are people kept on uploading whenever Rapidshare removes them.
The special thing about this Windows Vista leak is that it is DIRECTLY from Microsoft! It is original and untouched. It's the 32bit-Vista version (Ultimate/Business/Home depending on what serial number you use, of course). Full-Version (not an upgrade).
There are 3 parts to download.
1. boot.wim
2. install.wim
3. X13-49120.exe
If you look at the filenames of the 3 files, it doesn't tells you that it's Windows Vista. My first question is, how did it got leaked out and know that it's Windows Vista? The total file size for this 3 files is 2.52GB.
The domain that hosting the 3 files is msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net. I did a whois and this domain belong to a company called Digital River. Digital River is a leading provider of global e-commerce solutions for software and consumer technology. One example is that Norton store is powered by Digital River. After you've purchased any software from Norton and you chose to download the product after paying, Digital River will give you a link to download the FULL version.
Another question in my mind is, why is Windows Vista being hosted on Digital River? We all know Windows Vista don't ship the product digitally. It comes in original DVD.
I am shocked and can't explain. Downloading Windows Vista from the direct leaked link will be a lot faster and easier compared to files on RapidShare. But remember, if these files are hosted on a site chosen by Microsoft as "Content Delivery Network" for its products, it is possible that it logs every IP address that's been downloading from them. I believe when Digital River notices a high traffic on those 3 files, it will be removed.
Edit: OK, I was wrong. You CAN buy Windows Vista online and download it after paying. That answered all my questions above on why is it being hosted on Digital River, and how does people know that those 3 files are Windows Vista.

old news
vista ultimate upgrade directly from microsoft. yes! it's been leaked.
it works
like this. microsoft provides an option to purchase vista online, after payment, the
customer is given a download link which enables them to directly download windows vista
from microsoft server. (in fact ms uses a 3rd party software distributor to host the file;
digitalriver) these download links have beeb leaked to the web and anyone can paste the
links in a download manager or a web browser to begin the download of an original,
untouched version of 'vista ultimate upgrade'.
there are 3 files required for
download:
boot.wim
install.wim
x13-49120.exe
this is the upgrade
version and works only on top of a windows 98 or xp installation (cant use a bootable cd
and clean install)download:file

13-49120.exe install notes 1. put the exe and the 2 wim files in the same folder. 2. then
click on the exe. it will copy the wims to the correct folder. an installer will come up.
close it. 3. the exe will create a folder named vista. all the files (and the wims) are in
there.4. install from that location.
sorry not just an upgrade, but the real thing! :-) just put all 3 files in the same
folder. run the x13-49120 and you will get the vista setup display. close that display and
you will see a new folder called vista that will come up. in that folder are files (2.52
gb.) you can burn to a dvd and run it as a boot dvd for a clean installation. have fun :-)
you mean after we burn the stuff into a dvd it is bootable just like everything else
which has been put to market? that's a real deal, all right. and what about keys and
stuff, anybody tested it already? if we just upgrade xp or mce any keys needed? good news
though :o
by the way, what are you sorry about?
the links you posted are the same as
lololilo, and mine. so what gives!?
ahhh "nothing to do" ha, ha, ha, :-)
not found
the requested url /msvista/pub/vista_wim/i38 6/boot.wim was not
found on this server.
yes,it is a bootable dvd, and yes itīs the real thing. as for the key i have the one form
my tecnet/msdn witch sorry i will not give out! but your in luck! :-) the
ms_vistaactivator_21211 crack works great! and here they all are!!
http://www.verzend.be/v/9484170/vista_x86_x64_cracks_all_of_them_.rar.html
thanx a million. suppose all the other (working) cracks around will do? like oem
activation toolkits, brute force, one click activation by clony, and tons of others, hey?
take care guys. :)
it seems that they just might have pulled the links!! or there just might be too much
traffic on them! (too many downloads at once)
those crack are phantom tested and all of them do work! :-)
"obs" "obs" "obs"
take away the () in the link if you want to use that link.
no space between 8 and 6, it is i386, not i38 6
have you tried that!?
sorry, didnīt think so!!
the links still work once in a while.(must be too many downloading) and didnīt notice the
spaces! dahoo!!!
lets tri this again!

-49120.exe
why is it when we post the links that keznews is editing the links by putting a spece in
between the 386 !!!???????
and itīs msft-dn1 not msft-dnl!!
none of the above links are working!!!
every thing in the link are lower case letters when there should be capitals as well in
some places!!! like noa,vista_wim should be capital letters!!
why don't post the links in the subject field itself? u can put capital letters over
there.

i meant here in the comments. my mistake
arrrgh! you're a kez pirate through and true!

:)
torrent it or it didn't happen!
follow these instruction to make a bootable iso:
copy the 3 files from microsoft to
c:\
run x13-49120.exe and it will create a folder called vista
extract
cdimage from cdimage.rar file to the c:\
type this at c:\ (in command promt)
cdimage.exe -llrmcfree_en_dvd -m -u2 -bc:\vista\boot\etfsboot.com
c:\vista\ c:\vistax86.iso
(obviously you can change the paths if you have
the files somewhere else)
download cdimage v2.52p here:

why go through all that shit when you can do what phantom said in his post? i did what he
said downloaded the files put them in a folder ran the x13-49120.exe when the windows
installer came up closed it then looked in the file i put the 3 files in, in the first
place and there was a new one called vista opened it and burned those file to dvd and
whala, worked like a charm!
p.s. you can use any dvd burning program! and
i recommend the lowest speed as possible when burning these files! i used 1x
why to go!!! keep up the good work!
ok, i've burnig the files in vista folder but the dvd doesn't boot ad pc startup. wtf?
then... you could go "through all that shit " to just create an iso file :)), i
haven't tryed just to burn the files to the dvd, beacause i thaught that it wont be
bootable so i found those instructions on some forum to make the iso... anyway i've just
finished instaling this version of vista from the iso i made , opened whit daemon tools,
works like a charm. take care :d
u could try my instruction to create a bootable iso file :) it will not hurt to trye.
take care :d
just burning a bunch of files to dvd will not kane it bootable
make it bootable even!
unless, of course, this actually is an upgrade version in which case... burn away!
don't need it to be bootable!
