Re: Is Vista Ultimate (released version) 64bit?

Colin,

Can you be more specific by "soon"?

It does seem strange why they pulled it from MSDN as I would think more
people would be downloading 32bit version of Vista, not the 64bit version.
32bit Ultimate is 2.5GB -- is the size of the 64bit version really that much
different?

Thanks, Rob.
