    Only the Web Installer is currently available. People keep posting links to older versions, like the June/08 one, or the Aug/07, or even the Feb/08 version. The full installation files may take up to a week or so to show up at MS.

    It's been a year since the last reviews and things have improved.

    If you're having problems with WGA, try getting the full install (44MB) from here: http://www.microsoft.com...A050&displaylang=en

    Oh that's hilarious. When I try to download this, Microsoft tells me my copy of Windows isn't valid. Silly Microsoft, I already paid you fools!
