I talked to Oscar, while I do agree with the image that you paint, he  
also claimed that there was testing on more than 1 platform/OS.  I  
don't know how broad this is, but you should continue to make your  
feedback well known.  You can have your SE send him an email as well  
as those in his mgmt chain if you do not feel his responses were good  
enough for your needs.

I honestly think he is going to address this issue.  I think the  
workaround process of opening a TAC case for each image you want to  
download will help keep this process at the forefront of the radar on  
the support org.

Also, if you got the Walker Survey, make sure your sales rep  
understands the impact this has on your responses.  Their bonus is  
impacted based on this response.
