I got the download through DigitalRiver deal for students. It was a total pain in the arse to unpack and unload on my 32 bit Vista setup. Spent the day downloading it and trying to unpack it three times thinking it was a file error and finally thought I couldn't have screwed the pooch three times on the download and did a search. MS and DR are aware of this problem but have no work around for it. So I followed the trail on the search engines and found a workaround for the crap. Finally on my Win7 HP 64 bit setup. All these options are phooey if you ask me. Nothing wrong with rolling out a monolith instead of 8 bricks that are no different from each other IMHO.
Still can notice a speed difference, but not sure if that's just the fresh install period. At least they had the sense to provide a defrag util in this OS.
