Have you ever actually installed an "Upgrade" of Windows? You don't need to install Vista or XP first to use an upgrade version of Windows 7. Indeed, just having an old Windows 7 install on your machine is more than enough.

That is exactly my point. I want to install a fresh copy of the OS. Not pave over the previous instance.

  Oh right didn't realise this was upgrade copies.

  Let me make it clearer for you: _you can do this with the upgrade DVD_.

Actually, that's been changed with Windows 7. It now requires the presence of an activated installation of a prior version of Windows.

  Which, again, doesn't change the fact that if you already have a Windows 7 install (I don't mean RC, I mean final), you can use the upgrade DVD, blasting the old install away during the process.
