Well I was lucky enough to grab a copy of the x64 ISO last night about an hour before the sh*t hit the fan. Unfortunately, I did not get the x86 disk in the que before that. I also grabbed two new vista CD keys. I can report that the ISO vlited perfectly with IE8 and drivers, and performed the unattended setup with one flaw due to unsigned drivers. It activated successfully.

Looks like it is completely gone now. My subscription has disapeared.

I don't think that new download works. Also, I am not sure who is doing the WMP11 addon, but when it gets installed the media sharing services are not loaded at startup.
