Actually I can answer this for you. I just checked my Microsoft Dev Center account. The "upgrade" license to windows 8 does indeed require that you have either a valid patched version of Vista or Windows 7 previously installed. Since is uses many of the same Kernels the "Windows Update" version of the update which is available for $40 requires the base install of Windows. The ISO download I see is only a few hundred megs. The actual windows 8 install ISO is available for the regular windows price. The ISO on that looks to be a few gigs.
Who said this was only a Saab forum :).
