Noticed that my copy states only the 32 bit version is included - anyone know if its possible to get the 64 bit version or if the upgrade to ultimate will allow you to do a 64 bit install?

Got mine today in Maryland.

It specifically states on the back of the sleeve:

"This copy of Windows Vista Business is intended for the recipient's personal use. Do not lend or make illegal copies of this software. This kit and its contents are not for resale. For use on one computer or device."

Do you think that will stop people from eBaying them ?

In an email posted on another forum it said that people who signed up for both will have to wait 2 more weeks since they have to process the W9 forms.

Has anyone recieved anything about Office 2007, such as a download link or a cd. I haven't. ( I didn't go in for Vista. I was a little paranoid about giving my S.S. number to anyone.) Ok I admit I'm a chicken!

Just got mine today (Davis, CA). Everything's going smoothly so far. Thanks to the OP for this. Nice to have Vista to try out.

i think its safe to go with the guy above that said:

"In an email posted on another forum it said that people who signed up for both will have to wait 2 more weeks since they have to process the W9 forms."

Received mine today too [west coast]. Eh... re-installed Windows XP recently on an SATA drive...and wouldn't you know it - I installed it as a NON ACPI setup - which Vista will not support.

Luckily these are the full installations - so just unwrapped another SATA drive and did a fresh install.

And..they are the 32 bit version - kind of a bummer, but I don't forsee me needing 64 bit version at home. I'm a happy camper...

For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would install 64bit windows. It's slower than 32bit and less compatible. What exactly is the point?
