How do I download something for Windows from the Microsoft website from Linux?

Specifically, how do I bypass the Genuine Windows Validation? Since I’m not running Windows, I can’t pass it. I need to download WMP11 for a computer with no Internet access.
It’s for XP (I think SP2, but I just started using it and forgot to check).

Provide your version of Windows in which you are getting WMP11 for and I may be able to provide a direct link.
OR, Simply look for options for "stand alone", "IT Administrator", "Network Install", etc. Any of those other links (or similar) generally hints it is a Full copy instead of one that requires MGA verification or even current module inclusion checks.
I know what you are asking bec I do this frequently, as well.
