Anyone know?

I've contacted Microsoft and they just sent me to webpages about installing Vista :mad:

All I get offered is Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit CD English 32-bit CD £6.71.

Does the 64bit come on this disc as well.

No the 32 and 64 bit disc are separate items. I remember I had some trouble getting the 64 bit disc to come up as well (hence ordering the 32 bit by mistake).

After a lot of head scratching and searching I think this is the url to get the 64 bit disc :

http://windowsanytimeupgrade.com/disc

Change the system type to 64 bit and pay the £2.48

I think you will probably find that the contents of the disk are actually exactly the same. Certainly, I have a 32-bit "anytime upgrade" disk which I've used with a retail key to install Vista.

The "order extra media" link you've given won't work for people who've received a free copy of Vista Ultimate - it doesn't give you the option of ordering the 64-bit version. This is because Ultimate normally comes with both disks already included - however the competition version doesn't.
