It cost more than just shipping costs though (about 24Euro I think) |

You can create a bootable DVD from the files. The install.wim file is the 6000.16386 build but presumably this will be changed to the SP1 version on or around 19th March. So we may not get an Anytime Upgrade DVD with SP1, but making our own is the next best thing!
