Per MS - Yes!

Rocky - if you are positive that you'll never reinstall this OS onto a
different PC, then you might consider the OEM version.  It'll save you about
$25 dollars vs. the W7 Ultimate upgrade.

But this is for retail versions, not academic versions.

SO my cousin - a prof at SDSU - can get Windows 7 Ultimate but is being told
it's an upgrade.  I want to convert my main development box, which is XP, to
W7.  IIUC, I can't use this version they've got because it's an upgrade and
I'll need a full install.

Si?

Please understand that I'm only a transmitter of words.

I was at the SDSU Bookstore today.  The out-of-the-box Windows 7 Ultimate is
an upgrade.  I explained what you said about Vista.  I was told that it
would work if I had a version of XP.  All I had to do is make sure I had a
32 or 64 bit machine.  Comments (pungent or otherwise) are welcome.
