I don't understand how that's possible (although I've noticed that). Even if
you multiple that by 6, you only get (rounding up) 500 MB, instead of the
1.3 GB of the "full archive" download. Weird.

Going through Windows Update, it's only a 70MB or so download.

The ISO has all three architectures, but you can download x64 vs x86
separately.

It's a shame they won't split it into the 3 architectures on the disk. That
download has 32/64 and I64 all on the one iso.

 

Still, what's a 500gb download times 300 million copies .

 

I'm sure when it gets on Windows Update it will be a lot smaller.

It's letting me download the 2GB file without a DL manager... wonder how
long that will last.  And it appears to be just one download irrespective of
32/64-bit.
