Fido: A powershell script to download Windows retail ISOs

That's cool. I'll have to write a shell script for UNIX systems that does the same, if it doesn't exist already!

I don't think it exists, the reason is that if your user agent is Linux you can download the ISO using a browser, so there is no big inconvenience.

If you are running Windows though, Microsoft will actively redirect you away so that you cannot download the ISO.

One might argue that downloading the script on other OSes is more hassle than visiting the Microsoft website to download the ISO...

Meh, automate everything. Maybe for some reason I need that ISO on my remote server with 10Gbps, and not on my laptop that has 10kbps upload...
