I NEVER do an OS upgrade, always a clean install. I do not want to bring old garbage to a "new" system.
MS could sell students a full copy instead and cancel the old product ID as part of the installation process. At least then you have a choice as to the type of installation you do. An ISO would be nice, if you can get W7 for 29 bucks. It would not make ANY difference to MS as far as I can see.
