How is it impossible to access? Telegram is a pretty popular messaging app, and if you don't already have an account it's easy to make one. You can use a google voice number or similar to sign up if you prefer not to give your real one.

No. This sounds like a sales pitch for Telegram.

Forcing people to create or sign in with an account is bad, particularly when one considers that the ISO is of questionable legality.

What would be infinitely more useful would be a program which directly modifies an ISO image that the end user can download herself directly from Microsoft.

It's not that deep. I agree it is definitely not ideal, and in future this will no longer be required.
