Two other things that have been "said" in regard to the above (whether true or not are:
1) The free offering will only apply to Win XP Pro owners (not Home).
2) The deal is a "swap" of your 32-bit XP for 64-bit XP (ie. you end up only with a valid copy of 64-bit XP).
sounds good to me.., I hope that is what happends..
the only thing that would end up bad is if the 64-bit edition would end up being buggy and then you would be stuck with the 64-bit edition..
from what I hear though, the PR2 is usable, and x64 should be as stable as the 32-bit edition.., so I am not worried
I hope that we also soon seen 64-bit ports of programs that we use all of the time, such as firewalls, AV's, and.., uh.., Trillian, not to mention all video games
I have heard that there are already some programs that are devolped in 64-bit but have not been released yet because neither x64 or longhorn have been released
