You get both 32bit and 64bit in retail packages

Most likely just shipping costs.

Maybe $10.00 or less, can't say for sure until someone purchases one.

In retail packages your key will work with both 32 and 64bit. The ultimate
will come with both but other versions will ship with 32bit and have
information on how to obtain the 64bit dvd

Re: vista home premium and 64 bit $$$$

Why? Was it because when you click on
"Compare each edition's features", it says
the wrong features for Home Premium and Business?

Re: vista home premium and 64 bit $$$$

I didn't click on that button, but you are right, it certainly does
show the wrong features.
But when you click on the "Get it Now" button for Ultimate, it
gives you the disk info.

I'm curious, where did you obtain this information? My understanding was
that all Vista retail DVDs had both the 32 and 64-bit version on them.

No, they come on separate DVDs. Latest info is that for Ultimate, both
upgrade and full, both x86 and x64 DVDs are in the box. For other versions
only one comes in the box with info on how to send off for the other.

Re: vista home premium and 64 bit $$$$

Since x86 is 2.6GB and x64 is 3.6GB it is pretty obvious that you cannot get
both on the same 4.2GB dvd. It would be like putting two pounds of peanuts
in a one-pound bag. They do indeed come on separate dvd's.

I've since confirmed this. But I was originally assuming a dual-layer
DVD-ROM.
