No idea where you can get an iso version of Vista. Best bet is to buy a retail copy and create an iso yourself. If you have a windows laptop you can use software on that to create you an iso file of the purchased disk.

Well you can still create iso's on that computer. But why do you need iso for? You can use the physical optical drive on ypur iBook to install on VPC.

the optical drive on my ibook makes a not so normal sound when disk is spining inside, the sound is like a chain saw when it's on almost.

Virtual PC is dog-slow and generally not recommended.
