From the original post on this by Scott (Mod), the article referenced is probably referring to a free (UPGRADE) Version of Win7 in (2) SKUs as opposed to a (Full) OEM or Retail Version.
----------------------
The Win7 download is a (Full) (Timed Limited) (Beta) Version of the O/S to my knowledge which should be Clean Installed and configured as Dual Boot or Primary O/S.

Rick is right - it is a full installation disk. The time limit is apparently August 09.
