Question: Are the code on retail W7 Upgrade & W7 full installation media DVDs identical regardless of the label?

Found one answer HERE. Quoted:

... I had an in-person discussion yesterday with Microsoft about how its Windows 7 Upgrade media does (or does not) work ...So here are some data points to consider...

The Full and Upgrade media for Windows 7 are indeed identical. The only difference is the product key. The code on the discs is the same.

Assume that the above information is genuine, isn't it wonderful that us technie will have a much easier time using either media to fix Win7 ...
