Is this a full copy or only an upgrade?

I should have clicked on the picture it shows "Upgrade" in the corner when you make it bigger.



but computers running xp can also be upgraded to 7 but you have to do a clean install right?

I just had a Fun night my MSDNAA just got Windows 7 up so I spend the night installing on my pcs. The installs went well besides I had I call Microsoft every time I needed to activate because after the first time it wouldn't let me do it over the net.

Dell Mini 10v(32 bit):
- Installed well
- Had to install touch pad drivers

MacBook(32 bit):
- Tried 64 bit but disk wouldn't work right
- Installed 32 bit well
- Just put in the OS X bootcamp drivers and it runs way better than Vista

Home built PC (64 bit):
- Install took longer than the other
- Everything was seen from default besides my Creative LS sound card (driver was easy to find)

Overall: Windows 7 runs a lot nicer than Vista, my desktop is finally smooth again :)
