That's the way I see it Russ. A PITA to install W7 but as tizmeinit said - it's an "upgrade" not the full version.

So - I'll get a legit copy, install W7, upgrade it, install updates and them image the partition...that way if I need to go back to a clean install I just restore that image without the faff of installing W7 and upgrading again!
