Microsoft clamps down on “vistatorrent” site | News.blog | CNET News.com

> With Microsoft having a tough time getting the Vista beta quickly into the hands of all those that wanted it, some folks thought they could help out.

> They set up vistatorrent.com, redistributing the code on their own.

> Microsoft’s response? Thanks, but no thanks. The company promptly slapped the site with a cease-and-desist letter.

I understand Microsofts reasoning, but I can’t understand why they don’t provide a torrent themselves. It would reall make downloading easier for a whole lot of people, and reduce costs for Microsoft.
