The student windows 7 version avail thru
www.win741.com is the FULL VERSION. I ended up emailing Digital River, the people that pairs up with Microsoft to sell their product online and got this OFFICIAL answer:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Windows 7 Online store.
We understand that you are interested to purchase Windows 7 Upgrade
through our online store.
We apologize for the confusion.
The Windows 7 offered in this promotion is a full version. You can
install this product even though
you do not have a previous Operating System installed in your computer
or if you want to make a multi
boot using Windows 7. The "Upgrade" included in the product name is just
because Windows 7 is the
latest Operating System Windows developed.
Sincerely,
Joanna A.
