If you started Setup by booting with the dvd the upgrade options would
be
disabled. It makes no difference whether your media was retail, MSDN,
MSDN
..iso burned to media, or even from an OEM pack. It's the product key
and
how you start Setup that matters.

Thanks for the info. It's lame, but does match my experience. I don't
know how anyone is supposed to know not to run the setup from booting
the DVD. :cry:
