Im checking if my HACC email will work. excellent price and i was looking at the comparison chart for the different editions. I think this Premium ed would do what I need it to.

I assume a quad core is still 1 physical CPU, right?

This is an upgrade edition, according to the box. Hmm. Wonder if it`ll play nice with my `version` of XP.

Also, is it a 32bit or 64bit version?

Should have pre-ordered it back in July. There was a pretty nice discount going on then.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

I went the technet route.  Gives me access to Win7, all the various server OS', Office 2010 when it comes out, etc.  Good stuff for the price.

You can get MSDNAA access and get win7 downloads and keys.  You need to be a student, theres some ways around that though.
