Thanks
The copy of XP I bought is labeled as WXPVOL_EN on the CD. In other words it's the full enterprise version, not an upgrade and no registration is necessary. I'm hoping they do something similar with Vista or I probably won't buy it even if it's super cheap.

Note: I got this through a university deal. It isn't something that is listed as a student version at Office Depot or someplace. It was an arrangement through the university. The CD came with no documentation or box or anything. Just a CD in a jewel case.
