Well, Chris said he was told on May 19, 2005, that his CD was being
built, and it seems he is still waiting for word that it is being shipped.

So, how long does it take to build, or manufacture, a Windows XP
Professional x64 CD?

It shouldn't take long to produce the x64 CD, but it depends on the location
of the factory where the x64 CD is being produced. All of these things have
to be taken into account when it comes to delivery, I don't believe
Microsoft has a stock pile somewhere waiting.

No, no. There is one old guy in a back room. He is carefully burning each
tiny dot with a hand laser. Be patient, it only takes him about 5 days to do
a single CD.

I would say there is no firm date on when you will get your CD if you have
sent an order, it's just a case of waiting until the cows come home

The expected length should be somewhere between 5 to 6 weeks based on what
persons have said.
