Dell Optiplex Windows COA

Hi I called Dell there a few minutes ago (also used the live chat messenger) but both agents couldn't understand my question (see what happens when you outsource sales agents to whatever country they were from) Anyway maybe someone here can answer my question. If I order this PC with Windows 7…

Anyway maybe someone here can answer my question.

If I order this PC with Windows 7 --->[URL="http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=sm002d70108mt&model_id=optiplex-7010&c=ie&l=en&s=bsd&cs=iebsdt1[/URL] Will it come with a Windows 7 COA or a Windows 8 COA? It says they will include Windows 8 licensed media but does that mean it will be a Windows 8 COA on it?

It's possibly a Windows 8 professional license which has downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional (you may need to get the 7 media yourself). It could also be a site mistake I'd call up Dell and enquire. The way it's stated confuses me as well..
