It turns out that windows installer media can have multiple products and
product key is a way for windows to choose which product to install.
Since we already require product key for windows XP and it is required
by Windows 8 too (for which we'll use this same script), its not too bad
to start requiring this for Windows 7 as well.
Also, the product key will be used to automatically activate the Windows
copy during unattended installation rather than requiring the user to do
it him/herself at most 30 days after installation.
Moreover, the following patch that removes /IMAGE/INDEX, will break
unattended install without a product key in place.
