    LOL this kinda sucks! I don't even think 64bit Vista would be an advantage since very few programs can really use it

    an extra $10 for the CD to get mailed to you? Sucky. Is vista really retailing for $170?

    I thought all versions of Vista came on the CD and the only difference was the packaging and serial

    I don't see the problem here! The guy bought a 32bit Vista Premium retail edition and complains that it is not 64 ! :confused: Of course the system requirements lists 32bit or 64bit processor because it runs on both! But where the hell does it say it's a 64bit version? It really pisses me off when ppl make this kind of stupid videos to cover-up their own idiocy. If he really wanted 64bit edition then he should have done some homework before running off to the store to grab one.

    It sounded like the salespeople told him it was a 64bit version but he really only did get the 32bit one. It doesn't really make much difference though as few programs support 64bit.
