With respect to Micorsoft, they have provided me with instructions on how to to the upgrade when you build the 64 bit system yourself and installed either a retail version or OEM version of WinXp. Email me for further information. The process will require you format the harddrive - that is not acceptable to me and I just may buy xp64 when the beta runs outs. You have to do the upgrade by some date in July 2005 I believe. Best, Michael
