I seem to remember that there is some sort of "key" file on the disk that
tells the installer what version to install, but all of the versions are
there.  I saw something a while back that tells how to update the file to
get a different version.  If I can find that info, I'll post back.

Subject: Re: [H] windows 7 upgrade confussion

So Vista is not like XP upgrade where all you needed was the previous CD/DVD
to 
verify it? Seems stupid if down the road to do a fresh install you'd have to
start 
with the previous version 1st though I see the anti-piracy benefit.

Will the DVD's for 7 be like Vista where all versions are there and key
decides what 
you can activate?

Sure hope 7 has revamped some of Vista account status BS with a single local

superuser where even domain admins sub-admins.
