why is oem vista sold in seperate 32-bit and 64-bit versions? does the retail vista include 32-bit and 64-bit in the same package?

    ive tried both, i see no difference. Both stable as hell.

    I didn't ask for an opinion, I just want to know if retail contains both editions or not.

    I think retail has texas hold'em and RTM doesnt.

    and OEM has the gay drivers and equipment manufacturer shit..

    Uhh, i have texas hold 'em, as i mentioned both are exactly the same. My bro runs retail and i run oem/rtm ;)

    That's only if you use an OEM from a manufacturer. Here you can buy generic OEM versions for over half the price of the retail :|

    is what i'm talking about. i see no separate 32- and 64-bit retail, which brings me back to my original question - the retail box contains both 32- and 64-bit right?

    the oem just comes with a cd in a samll paper case. No manual and no nothing. Seriously couldt people like, crack this open at shops and get the serial?

    NOBODY IS READING WHAT I SAY

    I KNOW the difference between OEM and retail. I'm asking if retail has both 32-bit and 64-bit editions in the box. That is all.

    I don't think it has 64bit out of the box i think you may need to send into money and the DVD or w/e it is and you can get 64bit ed or cd ed like Retail.

    Eg: System builders but you must buy a piece of hardware with it.
