I'd like to buy the upgrade now (with the Media center add-on) and burn the ISO.

But I want to wait until SP1 is released before I install....

Is there any time limit for installation on the $39.99 Upgrade Promotion?

Can I download the free Media add-on without doing the installation before?

Anyone with knowledge on this out there????

I don't think it would make sense to have a time limit if you made the .iso

How do MS know if you may need to reinstall in a couple of years?

They say you can install it "later". No time limit given.



What media add on download? With Pro edition, you only need to download the key for that.

Is there some extra media thing I have missed?

There are some updates - quite large already.

This makes sense.... Thanks.

I just discovered about the Media center key myself, so that question is withdrawn! :D

SO i guess this question has been Solved.
Thanks to all.

Ooops... Missed that.

So I guess I have to upgrade before Jan 31 if I don't want to pay extra for the Media Pack.
Thanks, CS
