For those who don't have a bootable disc, or need a replacement/backup Vista
DVD etc:-

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro.../overview.mspx


It's possible to get one without a licence (just delete the actual licence
purchase from your basket and leave the disc only, which is free with a
small shipping fee). As I suspected, the disc is identical to any other
Retail/generic OEM disc, it depends on what key you use during setup.

This is a handy way to get a SP1-integrated DVD for a small fee once it's
available, and it's also possible to get a 64-bit disc from here as well.
