Installing Windows 7 from Microsoft Academy using Ubuntu
Problem:
In order to install software from Microsoft Academy one has to run a special Microsoft Installer. This installer software will crash under Ubuntu/Linux.
Solution:
The Windows 7 Downloader can be run from Ubuntu/Linux using wine. It will successfully download the iso (at 2.9gb) but hang at checking the CRC of the file.
The downloaded Windows 7 ISO is found under the wine directory and the temporary download location. For me this was:
/.wine/drive_c/Temp/
Inside this folder the file "en_windows_7_professional_x64_dvd_X15.01.sdc" will be found. To convert this file to an .iso file, download UnpackSDC from: http://imagi.pl/?p=12
Unzip UnpackSDC and then change it's file permissions to executable. This can be done for instance by chmod +x unpacksdc.exe
Now run unpacksdc.exe from a shell in Ubuntu. For instance by: "unpacksdc.exe ./en_windows_7_professional_x64_dvd_X15-65805.01.sdc ."
Done! Now you have a .iso file under ubuntu which you can burn and use to install Windows 7.

Can YOU spot the difference? Springsteen vs Hard Gay
The rock star Bruce Springsteen, aka "The Boss", is also working undercover in Japan using the alias "Hard Gay". The images below identifies them both under the two different names
Springsteen can be identified both in Sweden pretending to be "The Boss" as well as in Japan where he pretends to be "Hard Gay". The question of who he really is remains unanswered. The pictures of Bruce in Gothenburg originates from this slide-show and the clip where he was identified in Japan can be seen below
The question on everybodys lips is of course what is the intention of this plot? Has low record sales due to piracy forced The Boss to seek other halls of fame? Feel free to comment and speculate around this scandal!
