Note to all... it's your COA that licenses Windows, not access to an ISO. I'm sure that's old news to everyone.
 
^ what he said

Most laptops ship without an OS reinstall CD, you can either make your own (from the utility supplied by the laptop manufacturer - a real schleppa) or grab an ISO image from the 'Net and burn it when you need it the most. Best to do it while you still can.

I like it to do a fresh and clean reinstall without all the extra **** that most PC manufacturers tend to add on to their reinstall CD's.

Icons can slow your PC down? :confused:
As I said, pinch of salt... perhaps he was trying to speak to the average person. Some tech details on what it does would make me feel better.
Their "How it works" page looks kind of dodge technically

It's better to cull the crap out of the install cd/dvd before installing than doing it after the fact. nLite/vLite is good for this and considerably reduces the size of the install media. Who needs all those languages, printer drivers, obscure network protocols etc. I got a XP install CD down to about 200MB removing all the stuff I will never use & also makes for a much faster install time and a lot less HDD space taken up.

200Mb is a nice size install. Good plan.

With the release of Windows 7 SP1, Microsoft has also updated the Windows 7 DVD media ISO image distributed by Digital River for online order fulfillment. Digital River is Microsoft’s partner for fulfillment on online distribution for downloadable Microsoft products.

The Windows 7 ISO images hosted on Digital River is genuine and official version, and the downloads from the server is legal. It’s after all one of the official channel where end-users who purchase a license (product key) for Windows 7 get the setup installation files.

Anyway, without a genuine and legally purchased product key, you can’t get Windows 7 activated, and Windows 7 will only run as evaluation copy for up to 30 days.

The latest version of Windows 7 DVD image available is of media refresh version, which commonly known as Windows 7 SP1-U (Media Refresh). Microsoft released the media refresh version of Windows 7 DVD media to fix a rare bug related to invalid computer name when small set of computer names returned error when used to install Windows 7. Otherwise, the Windows 7 with SP1 and Windows 7 with SP1-U (Media Refresh) is completely the same.
