where to order replacement Vista media?

[j0j081]

I already have a Vista Business license and dvd but I want to order a new one with SP1 integrated. I know there used to be a place on Microsoft's site to order discs but I don't see it anymore. Anyone know what happened to it? Thanks.

Actually I had to call MS Support to order extra discs, they are lazy so call twice.

That site is only for Retail editions of Vista, and will get you a set of 32-bit CDs (NOT DVD) or a 64-bit DVD.

I'm not sure of that. I used the same thing to order a 64 bit dvd last year and I have Vista Business which I got for free through the Power Together promotion which I doubt qualifies as a retail copy.

Most Microsoft giveaway software has "Retail-like" Keys. MS seldom gives away OEM versions of its software, and never gives away Volume-license Keys, for obvious reasons. OEM keys aren't accepted by the site we're talking about.

Microsoft also has a separate site for obtaining replacement OEM media, and a site for obtaining replacement Retail Media.
Result of going to Microsoft.com and searching for "Replacement Media".

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone here succeeded in getting a replacement vista disc with SP1 integrated from MS?

The reason I ask is, I recently purchased Windows 7 Ultimate retail. I am hoping I can contact MS after the SP's are released for replacement media with the SP integrated.

Just wondering if anyone here had any success with that, and if so, how much did it cost? Again, thanks!
