Cool. I am getting a new laptop today and was going to put XP64 on
it, but I have Vista64 here I could put on instead. Any word on a
full install Vista64 SP1-level disc?

So's Server 2008 [but only in some languages].

It is not available until March actually.

The blog leaves some questions. Do you know when SP1 (RTM) will be available
on MSDN and Technet?
