Where To Get Full Download Of IE6

My frustration (and anger) with Microsoft continues to grow!

I have IE 5 at home. I have a highspeed internet connection at work. I
have dialup at home. I want to download a full installation of IE 6 at
work, burn it to CD, and take it home and install it. I cannot find
anywhere on microsoft's website where I can get a full download of IE 6 (IE
6 SP1 is the latest, I believe).

Can anyone help? Does anyone know where I can get a full download of IE 6?
I do not want to download a *stupid* setup program and spend hours wasting
my time downloading shit on dialup. What an incredibly dumb idea.

And why does Microsoft have to make this shit so difficult? Why do they
push their view of what people want onto the end user when the end user
does not have any desire for it? Doesn't Microsoft do any marketing
research at all? Don't they realize that Linux is becoming a credible
alternative and pissing off customers isn't good for business in the long
run? And surely a company with billions in cash sitting around can afford
the bandwidth for a full download of IE6.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Otherwise, I guess I will have to start using another browser. Thanks.

The option I recommend:
http://microsoft.com/windows/ie/ordercd/ie6sp1.asp

Another option:
http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/6.0
 
I recommend doing it this way:

http://www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html

I recommend this way because the downloads come directly from MS and you
have the option of downloading IE6 SP1 for several versions of Windows at
once including WinNT, Win98, WinME, 2K, and XP. And if you read everything
in the second link I provided, you should be able to do exactly what you
wanted to do in the first place... which is to just burn the files to a CD
and take it to whatever computer you need to install it on. Just as long as
the computer is running one of the OSes that this download method supports.
To tell you the truth, I just found out about this today by reading some of
the newer posts in this very newsgroup. I will probably have some use for
this technique as well.

Good Luck,
