That's interesting, and I'll save the link, but unfortunately what I'm
looking for is 32-bit on DVD, which isn't offered there. But thanks for
passing on the link, anyway.

No. That link offers *alternate media*. In the case of 32-bit, it offers
only CD's, which come in a 5-CD set. Not 32-bit on DVD.

Looks like you are right. If I were you and had the full retail version I'd
call Microsoft. I got one from my PC vendor for $20.00.

It was possible to order an anytime upgrade disk, but MS stopped that as
well unless you buy a new licence :-(

Sorry, nonny, but there is no way to create a "slipstreamed" copy of
Vista including the Service Pack without using a third-party tool.
Microsoft tells us that the facility MIGHT be in Service Pack 2, but
not before.
Those who want copies of Vista with the Service Pack incorporated will
have to purchase them.

Please reply to the correct thread and article.
================================================
Daze - The product key is unique to a particular DVD. In interested in
SP1 - why not just install SP1?

You're too late <g>. I found that out just a short while after that
post.

Yes. That's what I had been counting on and then discovered that it
couldn't be had that way. That's what prompted me to initiate this
thread, hoping for a new solution to the problem of somehow getting an
integrated DVD for cheap.
