    i found the info below.. is it accurate? there is no iso download



    OK, you’ve just purchased Windows Vista from Windows Marketplace and you
    selected “Digital Locker Download” instead of “Buy and Ship“. Buy and
    Ship might cost more and also have to wait for the delivery. You made
    your payment and the links to download Windows Vista is made available
    to you. There are 3 files to download which is:
    1. boot.wim (116.31 MB)
    2. install.wim (2.25 GB)
    3. X13-49120.exe (73.76 MB)
