不希望因为标题而让大家最后失望，只是实在想不出来什么更贴切的主题名称，所以开头 gOxiA 先做个介绍，其实也不算什么探索。作为 MSDN 或 TechNet Plus 订阅用户，我们知道在 Windows Vista RTM 发布时，订阅中提供的是除了企业版以外的多个版本的合集.也就是当我们下载来的 Windows Vista RTM 的 ISO 中已经包含了 Starter、HomeBasic、HomePremium、Business 以及 Ultimate 这几个版本。虽然是包含了 5个版本，但是利用 imagex 的差异特性极大的缩小了存储空间！
但是到了 Windows 7 RTM，订阅用户会发现微软并未像之处 Windows Vista RTM 那样，而是独立发布了 Starter、HomeBasic、HomePremium、Professional（Windows Vista 时命名为 Business） 以及 Ultimate，这样一来我们就需要为每一个版本下载一个拷贝！极为占用空间！
不管微软出于什么原因最终这样发布，但是好在 gOxiA 有手工使用 imagex 来安装 Windows 7 的习惯，通过分析旗舰版的 Install.wim 文件，得知实际上这个 Install.wim 依旧包含了其他几个版本，只是安装时将根据配置文件来直接安装对应的版本。如果你想要了解你的 Install.wim 是否包含多个版本，可以使用如下命令：
imagex /info %PATH%＼sources＼instlal.wim
内容大致如下：

OK，既然已经知道 ISO 中包含了其他版本，那么我们就可以不必全部下载所有的版本 ISO，而要安装非默认的版本则可以参考
使用 imagex 手工安装 Windows 7 RTM 这篇日志。
此外，在 gOxiA 针对 Windows 7 RTM 中文版进行测试后发现，中文版在手工释放 Install.wim 后也不再支持引导，则需要手工使用 bcdboot 来生成引导信息。
