What if I want to dual boot windows 7 x86 and 7 x64? Will the key work to install both? I'm guessing I'll have to choose one or the other. I have Sony Vegas Platinum Pro 9 and it does not play well with 64 bit windows.
Why don't MS put windows 7 X86 and x64 on USB sticks? The installation from a stick is way faster than a dvd.
OT: Vista x86 and x64 are on separate dvd's. So i think Windows 7 to
How do I get a 64-bit copy of Windows 7?
The Upgrade and Full packaged retail product of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate will come with both 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs. With Windows Vista, the 64-bit version was only available with Windows Vista Ultimate. Due to the incredible adoption of 64-bit today and customer feedback, we decided to change this for Windows 7. Now all copies of Windows 7 in developed markets will ship with both 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs.

I guess this'll be the real way to see when RTM is ready, when we stop seeing x86 and x64 iso builds being pumped out separately huh?.
I bought win7 Pro and it had 2 discs one 32 and one 64bit. I also got win7 Ult (a not for resale version) and it only had one disc labeled 32bit.. and there was no option during setup for 64bit. The outer packaging said: dvd included 32- and/or 64-bit disc(s) included.
I have received an ultimate package with my windows 7-680 config book and also bought a home premium retail package , both of these had two DVD's each with 32bit and 64 bit on separate discs :)
it seems a bit diabolical to go to a win7 developers conference and only receive the 32bit version
