You might want to check of the Youtube videos of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/user/Beaglerush
He's playing Ironman Impossible and some of the tips have been really helpful. i.e. using grenades early on Dr. Vahlen be damned; flanking; moving under cover and concealment; and always make sure...
In XCOM, aliens don't abduct you. YOU abduct aliens. LOL
Anyway, still playing EU and I'm about to trigger the Alien Base Attack can't wait to have this wrapped up and moved on to EW. :D
MS does not host any ISO for Windows Vista unless of course you're a Technet or MSDN Subscriber.
The best that could be found in the Interwebz when it comes to Windows Vista downloads are these:
Windows Vista download links:

Only applicable to Windows Vista and 7. In Windows 8 you need to punch in a key at the very start of the installation and there's not option to activate later.
@OP: As for Windows 8 you can still download the Windows 8 Enterprise version, IIRC.
An even better option would be to chat with an MS representative and have him or her verify what product key you have. They can have it identified for you.

If you're using onboard video, may I know which interface? DVI? VGA? HDMI?
HDMI causes the problem you described. I've encountered it in several Windows 8 installations I've helped on.
Usually when you get BSOD's it's usually a driver or hardware issue. As for the MS technician, he may have misunderstood you.
What's clear though is if you go from XP to Windows 7, MS still defines it as an "upgrade" even though you did a custom installation.

That's not how you get back to IE8. You need to uninstall IE9 from Windows Update.

What you just basically did was turn off Internet Explorer.
If I'm not mistaken, MS is still offering downgrade rights for users who have Vista Business or Ultimate and Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx
If you're using a Windows 7 ISO (64-bit) on a computer or VM running a 32-bit o.s. or vice versa, the USB/DVD tool won't work. That's it's only flaw compared to going with the CMD.
The student edition Windows 7 are not OEM. They are retail copies. So you can re-use them.
If you want to be sure if it's OEM or not, call MS at 1-800-936-5700 and have them identify the product key. You could also ask try chatting: http://www.answerdesk.com/support/expert
They will have an Order Desk department that sends out replacement disks, But you need to get in touch first with customer service at 1-800-936-5700 (U.S.). But as long as you can present proof of purchase (PID, PK or Part Number in the damaged disk) they should be able to provide you a...
