Another Technet update...

First, still LOVING IT!

Second, there is a 64-bit version of 7 Home Basic.  You just can't download it on its own.  When you download an iso for 7, unlike Vista, you appear to get the one edition you requested, unless you expand the iso and remove a file (ei.cfg).  If you take out that file, you get the list of editions to choose from, like you did with Vista.  If you do that with a 64-bit iso, you can select the Home Basic version.

Third, when I listed the XP Home editions, (XP Home, XP Home K, XP Home KN)  I forgot XP Home N.  So for XP Home, you get 40 keys that require an additional download or two to all be the same. XP Home, XP Home K and XP Home KN all use the same iso.  XP Home N is a different iso.

Fourth, STILL LOVING IT!  :D

EDIT... and add Vista Home Basic N and XP Home KN to the list of keys that I've used.
