System builders shouldn't be using an upgrade CD though. Larger system builders will have a ghosted image that they just plonk on HDDs. Smaller system builders should get OEM copies of Vista (which are actually cheaper than the Upgrade versions anyway).

The OEM version doesn't require you to have Windows already installed, and if it find it will only install fresh (old version is moved to another location or HDD is reformatted).
