    I am supposed to be getting one of those this week or next, a little disappointed that the x64 disk appears to be an anytime upgrade. I guess I could install the full 32 bit disk and then upgrade with a custom clean install to x64?

    Try [email protected]

    It's publicly available information. And no, he won't read your email unless if you're someone important, one of the hundreds of secretaries in his spam filter department will intercept it long before that.

    You can't upgrade any x86 version of Windows to a x64 Windows.

    So thus, by definition, all x64 Anytime Upgrades allow a custom (clean) install.

    This is posted in the Microsoft FAQs.

    looks cool. nothing like getting stuff for free that's actually worth something.

    I decided against because I didn't want strangers in my home. Incredibly awkward, IMO.

    Just got my party pack! :D

    And good news, I am pretty sure the 64x disk is the regular version. It says "includes windows anytime upgrade" on the disk, but the key word is INCLUDES. Also the paperwork that came with it says install the 64x disk if you run a 64 bit system or the 32x disk if you use a 32 bit system.

    And I dont have any strangers stopping by, just a few friends so its a pretty win situation to for me. I would be weirded out if stangers just stopped by.
