This is not true. The only thing that is different about the distribution of
Windows 7 from XP and Vista is that the DVDs contain both the 32-bit and the
x64 version of code. There are still individual discs for Home Premium,
Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise.

Yes, when you authenticate. If you don't authenticate then after some
period (30 days?? for Win 7??) then as you say, it turns into a
pumpkin. And admittedly it'll probably be a damn nuisance to use
before that by nagging you to authenticate.

My understanding is that the same thing is true for Windows 7 DVDs.
You get the same DVD whatever version you buy. Which software is
installed and enabled from the DVD depends on what serial number you
enter. (What you get before you enter a serial number I have no idea.
Who has the patience to waste time trying to find out?)
