Windows/Office Digital River and Azure Blob links removed

I’ve removed the Windows/Office download links as Microsoft has retired their Digital River/Azure Blob service (or at least removed Windows and Office from it). Since all the links now 302 and no longer work there is no point in keeping them up. I will continue looking for a new, safe source for ISO’s and Images for Windows and Office and update the page at that time. Until then it’s back to theĀ old ways to getting them.

ESXi / vSphere 6.0 General Availability Offline Depot

VMware released vSphere 6.0 to GA (General Availability) on 3/12/15. If you want to upgrade you can pretty easily go to the VMware site and download the appropriate files. What is missing however is a Offline Depot for that who want to perform a in-place upgrade. It seems that VMware has chosen to only make the Depot available to those that have purchased a license for vSphere 6.0. I’m sure in time they will change this but until then I’ll be making the Offline Depot available for download here.
