I have noticed people are looking to download Windows Vista using FTP, Http downloads, Torrent, Emule, Kazaa and many other ways. I would like to note that the best place to download Vista Images from, would be Microsoft.com as you can always expect to get the real, signed and authenticated build.

authorization.
