I don't know what a "full blown Windows SP1 install disk" is but if you mean an integrated dvd you can make one of your own with any retail or OEM system builder dvd. Use a program like RT Seven Lite.

Here is a link to the instructions shortened. I have no idea why you can't use an integrated slipstreamed dvd to do a repair install. Please note that the article you linked was published six months before Windows 7 released to manufacturing. The requirement is that the installed Windows and the dvd be at the same service pack level or that the dvd be the higher.

There is no difference in the Windows files on an OEM dvd and a retail dvd. The product key causes Setup to behave differently during the installation but that is not a difference affected by integration. I just went to Amazon and you're correct, I didn't look far enough down the page. It's been a couple of days since I've been to Newegg, but I figured it wouldn't take them long to get it on the market.

You noticed that the price went up too? Should be the same price as the one without SP1 in my opinion. As I said previously, OEM install disks are like the retail install disks. You should be able to do a repair without any problems. Published by Brink Companies cannot buy Windows 7 OEM from an area office supply, computer or electronics outlet, though.

The package is available directly from Microsoft and third-party resellers including online resellers. Windows 7 OEM versions are not scaled-down or missing any components. The versions work exactly like end-user versions and include the same pre-installed applications including Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer and other applications.

Windows 7 OEM versions do not contain free phone or technical support, however, because the computer manufacturer is supposed to provide support.

The license includes a product key that you must enter when installing the operating system on the recently built computer.

The operating system installation process works the same as with other Windows versions -- a wizard guides you through the installation process.

Like other Windows versions, buyer must activate the operating system within 30 days.
