    Then you should look harder. Don't think I'm allowed to link, but I have seen literally HUNDREDS of good Vista Home Premium x64 torrents.

    That's because there's no such beast. IT'S YOUR CD KEY THAT DETERMINES THE VERSION THAT GETS INSTALLED.

    Try Google.com...
    Heck, use search here!
    i KNOW there is a forum here about bypassing the cd key
    Plus, you can edit the CD to change it to accept OEM keys.
    It's not hard. Use Google.
