>>>Everyone I've talked to got the 32-bit Version of Ulimate 7 and the Key for it (BUT - I've been told the key WILL work with the 64 bit version.... so.... if you can get your hands on a 64 bit version THEN you will be in business with the key!)

>>As for 64-bit, we had that confirmed a few days ago by some MS reps. One route to go is that apparently, after the official launch on October 22, it will be possible to download an ISO image of Win7 for a time-limited trial. So, what you do is:
>>
>>- download the Win7 64-bit ISO
>>- use the key you got with your NFR copy
>>- you now have fully functional 64-bit Win7

>Sounds like a winner to me!!
Just got back from the thing. Definitely got Ultimate.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
