here are the direct download links, about 400mb a piece as a .img file - kinda like a .iso, but proprietary of course, this is microsoft, still will open with roxio or nero....

It's not proprietary. It's a standard ISO file which is why Roxio, Nero, et al, will still open it. Just change the extension to iso for any program that only filters by that extension.

It is true. I wrote them with K3B under linux without any problem.

well it's a proprietary extension then, why not just call it .iso?

i like the way it's so hacky that microsoft have to explain how to extract the files from the .img file!
