Has the 64bit Version of Vista Home Premium been Discontinued?

I have the 32 bit version of home premium running, and I ordered the dvd for
the 64bit version, and paid shippiong charges, about a month ago. Today I
received a letter in the mail telling me that the 64bit version of windows
vista home premium has been discontinued. Is this true?

No. Who sent you the letter and what exactly did the letter say?

That's the non-SP1 version, which may very well have been discontinued, since
the current Vista Home Premium 64-Bit available on the website comes with
SP1?

If I had to guess.

AH-HA! I wonder if that means I can't get the 64 bit version that they said I
could get with my 32 bit purchase? And, they have kept, to date, my shipping
charges.
