Actually I missed something during testing. The <ProductKey> node added for
Win8 unattended installs seems to be mutually exclusive with the
/IMAGE/INDEX bits from Win7 unattended installs (I got a vague hint toward
that from http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ff715526.aspx ).
Using the <ProductKey> node from Win8 and removing the Win7 ProductKey node
and the InstallFrom (/IMAGE/INDEX) Win7 node gives me a working unattended
install. In short, using a Win8 autounattended.xml file with Win7 seems to
be working fine (I've only tested with a mandatory product key).
