64bit verses 32bit

[Albert Fischer]

No one has said if there is a 64bit set of Vista and a 32bit set or are thy
both on the same dvd.?

 

[Nero]

64 and 32 will be on different DVDs
32 bit will have all versions of Vista on one DVD.

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

As Nero notes, different DVD, same box, one key.

 

[Barry Watzman]

While people may phrase the question as "are 64-bit and 32-bit on the
same DVD", I think that what they really mean, in most cases, is "do I
get both of them when I purchase a single copy from a vendor".

So this point is very important.

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Yep, you get both platforms in the same box on separate DVDs, one product
key.

So, when you purchase Windows Vista Home Basic, you get:
32-BIT DVD and 64-BIT DVD

So, in future if you decide to migrate from Vista 32-bit on the same system
to Vista 64-bit, you will be able to do so without having to purchase the
platform separately.

But, if i understood new EULA correctly, you will be required to de-activate
first, format, install, re-activate (up to 10 times..?) :

right?

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Yeah, if you decide to move it to another computer instead of the existing
one you initially installed Vista on, fine.

If it's going on the same hardware, I don't think it will count as a
transfer to another machine. And I'm not sure that the limit of "10"
transfers was EVER valid. That came from a report (which appeared in
this newsgroup and other places) that was never confirmed, and that was
before the MS change in the retail EULA policy that occured a few days ago.

right. Another thing...i guess it won't be (or will it) possible to make
dual boot (32&64) on same PC...?
IF above is true, then theoretically it should be possible...in any case, PC
is the same and it's not quite possible to use both installations at the
same time?

Yes it is possible, just as long as you install both on different hard disk
or logical partitions. Of course you will probably need to get an additional
key, since license is for use of one platform (one or the other).

Because the license agreement is for one PC. The license is not per-use,
which would mean, you can install both, but use them one at time.

Say you purchase Windows Vista Home Premium, which comes with both 32 and 64
bit platform. Your PC has a primary and extended partition. You decide to
install Home Premium 32-bit because you feel its a better move because of
compatibility, drivers etc. So its installed and activated. Ok, a week
later, you decide you want to use 64 bit instead, and you have a spare
partition, you install Home Premium 64-bit on it with the same key you used
for Home Premium 32-bit, but when you try to activate it, it will not
activate, because you already have a activated license. Of course, you would
be able to use the 64-bit install for 30 days, but after that it would go
into Reduced Functional Mode unless you acquire additional license key or
deactivate and uninstall the 32-bit installation on the other partition.

makes sense...but, on the other hand, even if i am installing both versions,
it's stil ONE pc. But i agree that i won't be able to activate again. I
think it would be necesarry to transfer that activation files from 32 to 64
bit somehow and it would work since it's exactly same hardware...but i fear
it would be quite impossible...
