No dsp is separate, retail is two disc in one package. Supplier probably only has dsp copies. Prophecy told me they will only be getting retail on monday but will have dsp on launch.

It's seperate in the DSP versions yes but the Retail versions of Home Premium and above includes both.

I phoned Microsoft this afternoon wanting to find out about the the home ultra family edition that comes with a licence for three computers and was told that that it is not available in our country and said she does not know if it will come here. I also inquired about the Home Ultra that comes with the 32 as well as 64 Bit disc in one package and said this will not be available in S.A. yet.
I am annoyed that they are releasing the family pack all over Europe and America but don't release it in the poorer countries where it is maybe needed more.

I am pretty sure the helpdesk lady has confused dsp and retail here. All the e-tailers are listing that home basic up to ultimate retail comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit disc.

Is there anyone who has bought the Windows home premium that can confirm whether it has both the 32 and 64 bit version of the disks included?
