Discs from Microsoft

Just ordered Vista Home Premium Educational upgrade edition on the cheap while I'm still a student. Am I right in thinking this is going to be the 32 bit edition? If so, I'll be getting the 64 bit DVD from Microsoft. Any idea how long they take to deliver?

Pretty sure it'll be the 32-bit as standard.

As for how long it takes, if they fluff up your order like they did with mine (for the 64-bit edition) then about 5 months.

Once they get their act together it should be 5 business days or less.

28 days for mine,

Standard for ms as far as im aware. Took their time, but got here in the end.

Got all excited about two weeks ago when they sent an email saying the things had been dispatched. Still waiting. Where do they send these things from?

The Volume Licensing media kits I get sent come from the Netherlands.

It arrived yesterday. Came from Germany. Over two weeks from Germany?! It ain't that far.

How much did you have to pay for the upgrade? I downloaded an iso of vista business 32 bit edition (the only edition available to us on the Microsoft Student Alliance) and didn't realise that it would be cheaper to upgrade?

I had to wait three weeks for 2 CDs from the Ilse of Man.
