    Does anyone know if pre orders for Win 7 are 64 or 32 bit?
    Can 64 bit be pre ordered?

    Thx

    Just as in Vista, I'm pretty sure both 32-bit & 64-bit will be on the same
    Windows disk.

    Both 32 and 64 bit versions are included. The half price pre-order
    sale is for upgrade versions of Home Premium, and Professional
    only. Ultimate and full versions are full price.

    Except in Europe, where the full standalone version of Home Premium (and
    Professional, but not any of the others) is available at a much reduced
    price until the end of the year.



    Of course, we in the EU get a version without IE, thanks to a potty ruling
    by the EU executive. I wonder if anyone has worked out how to download the
    downloadable version of IE (or firefox or whatever). :)

    No. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions have to be on separate DVDs because of
    differences in hardware driver support, not because of licensing. Each disk
    includes multiple versions (Home..., Ultimate), but we can't boot into
    32-bit and install any 64-bit operating system from that desktop.

    Vista Ultimate comes with two DVD-ROMs in one package with one Product Key.
    The owner can use the one PK with either the 32-bit or the 64-bit disk.
    Versions other than Ultimate come with a single DVD; if the buyer wants both
    bit-versions, he must order the second disk separately.

    Unfortunately, Jay, the Microsoft Store pre-order page (
    )
    answers most questions, but ignores this one. :>(

    If I read this right, the only difference between professional and ultimate
    is bitlocker and 35 languages?

    With Win 7 Pro Upg at half price and Ultimate only available
    at full price, that comparison list makes opting for Pro a no
    brainer, unless you need BitLocker and more than one language
    built in.

    You are right, but I may end up buying Win7 Ultimate rather than
    reinstalling everything.

    I hope I am not that lazy, though.<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

    No version of Win 7 will do an in-place upgrade on top of XP.
