There is no WGA check for Windows 7 yet.
Will give it a shot as soon as I see one.

Greg, did you enter a key on the RTM? I agree that the RTM was recognized as the previous OS. Let me know if it works with teh blank HD
tks
There was no key on the RTM which was unactivated with rearm.
I was prompted upfront for the Upgrade disk product key which it took and proceeded with the formatted clean install, then it activated later in seconds after I connected to the internet.
This HDD has been zeroed since there was any activated OS on it.
And I believe Windows Updates runs WGA check and Updates are one of the first things I did to get hardware drivers.

Seems to me that MS has not yet released any upgrade media.
Everything today screams 'Full retail install version'
Think this might be a big Thank You from MS to beta testers who enthusiastically pre-ordered?
Well, thank you , MS!
Guys,
Formatting during installation appears to be treated differently than installing to a completely blank partition-less drive prior to setup. I did a few tests tonight, take a look if you're curious:
