Just checking, does anyone know if this includes x64? Hoping to get Pro x64, as I am a college student :)

Does this mean that i will have to reinstall vista ?
Yes, The Upgrade Version works only if you have a genuine system already installed. Which may be XP, Vista or a version that is below the Upgrade Version that you have. I think Windows 7 RC to RTM upgrade can be done in a hardway but it’s likely that you’ll have a much more stable OS if you do a clean installation.
The upgrade discs are supposed to work coming from genuine versions of 2000, XP, Vista, or the Windows 7 Release Candidate. You don't have to reinstall Vista if coming from one of the others.
yes you can get 32 bit and 64 bit of windows 7 home premium or windows 7 professinal.
I contacted Microsoft a few weeks before this thing opened, they assured me the Channel Islands are available for this offer. So on the day, I try it, and it doesn't confirm my address.
So I re-contact Microsoft, they say they're working it out. Will I get my student discount?
