An "upgrade CD" IS a "full install CD". What had not worked in the past an still
will not work in 3.0 is installing from a CD that does not allow you to install
fresh from it. The limitation has not changed.
There are Windows CDs that are hard hardwired only for restoring onto the hard disk
that the reseller originally pre-installed Windows with. Basically there is no
"setup" program, just a disk image, plus the minimal number of cab files so that
extra drivers can be later loaded. These are the "non-full install CDs".
Some of these restore CDs go as far as checking for the particular hard drive type,
so if your disk fails and you buy a new hard disk, you are out of luck unless
you go back the the computer maker and pay through the nose for exactaly that
old drive type.
