Download Windows 7 Ultimate at 7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCU !

It has been verified to be the same as the MSDN version(which is the source of the upcoming retail version, so they are exactly the same) by hash checking!

p.s. MSDN = Microsoft(MS) Development(D) Network(N)
