"Maybe Microsoft has decided that only linux users who can't run Windows executables are allowed to download the ISO direct. "

I sure can't say it's NOT possible... Also it's possible I've gotten to the point where I'm just too much of a curmudgeon to put up with Microsoft's games any more and I'll have to run Windows 7 'til I'm pushing up daisies!

As for MS being evil... I never thought EVIL in the past, but this thing with W10 may change my mind... Venal, unscrupulous, conscienceless, perhaps. I reserved EVIL for companies like Oracle, and more recently Adobe. I think back to how easy XP was to install, and how productive it was, and I find it very difficult to consider anything since then an improvement.

BUT, as was said earlier "maybe I'm JUST NOT in the mood to get this to work"...
