all downloads are en-us if you intend to steal windows, use home or pro versions. ultimate is very obvious use clean "vanilla" ISOs and activate afterwards to ensures no tampering has been done to avoid using a microsoft account on windows 8, install offline, or when prompted click "create a new account" then "sign in without a microsoft account" you can also convert your account after install

software

qBittorrent for torrenting/magnet links InfraRecorder for disc burning (and ripping) rufus for writing to usb. use GPT/EFI for secure boot on newer machines microsoft's official tool for 7 and 8 (just use rufus really) WSUS Offline for cd/usb/local windows updates, enterprise style saves lots of time and bandwidth on multiple machines or repeated reinstallation
