   Vista 32 to 64 (free upgrade disc?)
  I recall reading about how MS will send you the 64bit discs if you get a 32bit pre-install of Vista. Does anyone have the links for this? Google failed me...I'm sure I read it on the MS main site though.   
  Yup here you go: Windows Vista Alternate Media;  The "alternate media" link will only work if you have a retail copy of Vista. If your copy is pre-installed (aka OEM), that will not work.However, another way to get a Vista disk is through the "anytime upgrade" program. There is no need to buy an upgrade license, Microsoft will supply an installation disk on its own for free (although you will have to pay postage). Look at http://windowsanytimeupgrade.com/disc. Note that this is only available in certain countries.   ;  Excellent. Thanks.
