And they charge for shipping. I remember getting XP SP1 for free.

That's possible - there is an ISO with x86, x64 and iTanium versions on it.

You don't expect them to pay for shipping do you?

They aren't charging for the disc, $6 for shipping ain't bad in these times of prosperity.

You can get a SP=1 disc from Microsoft if my memory serves me correct this morning. This would solve the problem of slow internet speed.

I didn't see the option for 32 or 64 bit?

Anyone know if the disc contains both?

I've just looked at my SP1 disc that I got from Microsoft and it says on the disc it contains both 32 and 64 bit software.

Some don't want to spend the time to download it for free and don't want to spend the money for shipping of the free disc. Mybe there is a toll free number to get in contact with Bill Gates and have him come over and install it for you free.

so as to conserve bandwidth, you could load up a server 2008 vm and setup a WSUS server and update all your computer through it. This is what i do for most computer i get that need a reinstall. Just a suggestion
