Windows7 VM, pre-built

I'm getting *hammered* by the Google "Windows7 VMware" hits, which I can only assume is from people looking for hints and advice on installing Windows7 into a VMWare image, and I feel compelled to point out that there's already a pre-built VMWare VM available from the "Virtual Appliance" pages at VMware.com; currently, it resides here. Note that you will need to BitTorrent it down, I haven't found a straight HTTP download link from that (off-vmware.com) site.

I wish I knew the full legalities of making said VM available; I only hope that the guys who are doing it have checked, but if you're at all concerned about such things, trust me, it's pretty painless to install Win7 into your own VM of your own making.
