Yes it does. The product key for now has been moved to the "setup Windows"
wizard. Whether this will happen with the final version is uncertain.

Does it allow you to launch Narrator before it asks you for the product
key?

If you do the first part of the installation inside Windows, regardless of
upgrade or full, your screen reader will walk you through it all. When it
reboots the rest of it will be automated till it's ready for you to set it
up. You should then be able to launch Narrator with Windows U, Alt N, to
complete the setup. Hope this helps.

Hello all,
First of all, this e-mail is not to flame anybody, nor is it designed to
name and shame people. However, after what I've read that Netbooks with
Windows XP can't be upgraded to Windows 7, this is completely false. All
machines that are running either Windows XP or Vista can be upgraded to
7.
The difference here is that no XP edition supports in-place upgrades,
meaning that a clean install is required. You can still use your upgrade
DVD
to perform the clean install though since XP would be recognized by the
DVD,
thus you can go ahead with the clean install. With Vista, however, the
upgrade path depends on what Vista edition you're currently using. Here's
the upgrade paths you can follow:
Vista Home Premium ->7 Home Premium
Vista Business ->7 Professional
Vista Ultimate ->7 Ultimate
Other editions of Vista, like Home Basic, are not supported, and thus no
upgrade path exists. There's also no upgrade path if you wish to
"upgrade"
from a 32-bit edition of Windows Vista to a 64-bit edition of Windows 7.
In
both cases a clean install is required, however the upgrade DVD will work
for this since Vista will be recognized by the DVD.
What I will say though is that it's completely your choice if you decide
to
cancel your licence, but I thought I'd better get this out there for fear
of
misinformation.
So hope this all helps and it clears things.
Have a good day.
