Thought I'd read elsewhere this was not available for OEM Vista

The site you mention does not say this - do you know?

Re: Free SP1 Tech Support

It isn't available for OEM Vista installations that came with Service
Pack 1, of which there are none as yet.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (All Languages)
Unlimited installation and compatibility support is available at no charge until March 18,
2009.
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...4&gprid=500921
Free to *anyone* (even OEM). The site has been altered to reflect that.
