For different reasons, but we are in the same situation.

I've two licenses of Vista Ultimate x64 in the cupboard, right behind me. But after dealing with Vista on a day in day out basis at work, they have little chances to make it to my private computers.

Perhaps after Service Pack 1...

However, I still think that the explanation the OP had regarding his issue was "pre-scripted reply 3a", or, in plain English, bollocks.
