I've read in many places that the media is exactly the same no matter what
version of Vista you purchase and the key determines which version gets
installed, but from what I've been reading here, the upgrade version has
limited boot options compared to the full or oem version. Is this because
the upgrade media is different or because the installation options given are
based on the key entered. The reason I am asking is because my friend
purchased the Home Premium upgrade today. I have an Ultimate Edition OEM on
order, but it won't be here until next week. I want to borrow my friends DVD
and go ahead and install Vista in 30-day trial mode on my machine and then
enter my OEM key once I receive my copy of Vista. Everything I have read
previously says this is possible, but all the recent news on the upgrade
editions contradicts this saying that the Upgrade edition comes on different
media. Which is correct?
