Well, if you extract the ISO(at least the one I got from MVLS), you get a 101KB setup.exe and the three architecture files - x86 is 537MB, x64 is 903MB and ia64 is 511MB.

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. Regards, Michael B.

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.
