No. You can do a full install from your Windows boot by running the setup
there. You determine whether you are going to do an upgrade by choosing
upgrade or not, and for example if you boot from your current Windows, you
get to choose the partition you are going to install the Vista or Windows 7
on, and if there is enough room, you simply install it onto that partition
running setup from your existing Windows boot.

If your old computer already has a Windows operating system installed
then you should be able to run the setup from within the running Windows.
Just copy the files from the disk (via your network as you mentioned)
onto your internal hard drive, or a usb memory key if you have a large
enough one and run the setup from there.

Doesn't that only do an upgrade over the OS? I remember Vista over XP only
did upgrade and not a clean install.
