Since Sept 14 2009 MS has pulled the download. Even if you get (which I might add)
the 166 kb download the actual SR1a file will not download. The SR1a file is around
400 mb and it has been pulled from the MS download site. All this was because of the
agreement between MS and Sun concerning the highly contested case which Sun
prevailed as the winner.
The last time I posted about getting the SR1a download it was still available was
about 10 weeks ago.

Any site on the Net that is still offering this SR1a download is open to litigation
and then high penalties

Thanks for the added info, Peter.

If nothing else, 166kb seemed a bit ... surreal.
