MS is really ticking me off - Can't get SBS through vendors now

Normally I order through CDW for Open License products, like SBS 2003
Prem R2, and I ordered it with a new HP server for a client...

The rep at CDW tells me that I will get a empower document and be able
to download SBS from the volume license site - NOT.

Finally got a person at MS and they said that the download for SBS is to
large (guess they missed their other downloads) and that I have to order
the media kid, UPS Ground 2-5 days - NO method to over-night it..... And
I can't use other media because the keys ship on the CD pack and won't
show up on the licensing site with all my other non-SBS keys....

MS is not allowing vendors to ship media kits any more.
