Windows 7 direct download

Like half the world, i have been trying to download Windows 7 tonight. I might have found a legitimate link, thanks to @benhedrington - i clicked this and it started downloading something. It obviously comes from download.microsoft.com and it begins with the number 7000, which i suppose is a good sign.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso (2.4GB)

Update: Steve Clayton corroborates this link, and also provides a 64-bit link:

Possibly downloading Windows 7

Let's hope it's the right thing, hey!

I think we also need an activation key, otherwise it will only work for 30 days. I managed to submit my email address on the technet beta program signup, so hopefully they will send me one.
