But alas my favorite source for Windows7 images is gone.

http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links

This had direct links to the digitalriver repository of Microsoft software disk images. Now you have to go through the recovery center and only if you have a valid RETAIL COA.
