Will Microsoft replace an OEM Vista Disc

Guys,
I was wondering would Microsoft replace my OEM copy of Vista Ultimate 64bit with the same version of Windows but included with service pack 1.

Id imagine the best you would get out of them would be just the service pack on a cd

Just get any Vista64 SP1 DVD even if it's a copy.

Your product ket will install your version of Vista (OEM).

If you have a vlited disc, why do you want a new copy?

Yep you can get a replacement, just apply for one here. You'll receive an unbranded, holographic Vista disk. When it asks for a VAT ID number you can leave it blank. You'll be asked to type in "Product name as it appears on CD". Here put: Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP1

It costs around £15 and takes about two weeks to arrive. I've used it a couple of times

. I let someone here borrow my unbranded Vista HP 64Bit media but it went missing in the post. They used that website to order me a replacement and it came with SP1, my original didn't.
