I didn't have any issues applying 6a on any boxes, but those were business machines.
Here's (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e396d059-e402-46ef-b095-a74399e25737&DisplayLang=en) the link to the info for 6a, if you decide to go that route. The link to download it is at the bottom.
They cared enough about all the bitching last year that they removed the need for an activation, but I'd guess that most home users aren't on NT, so they don't care too much about making sure they have the specs for it right. It's possible that next year they won't even support it on NT at all.
