You can't, downloading it is illegal and the only way is to purchase Vista online or from a store.

That's how I got Vista Business, I bought a copy of XP pro OEM from Newegg in Feb, filled out a form and they sent me Vista Free. XP Pro and Vista Business for $120. You can't beat that price. I have the XP installed on a different Hard Drive becuase I thought Vista would cause problems, but honestly I haven't booted XP since Vista was installed. It has problems, but not too bad.
