So, what is the definition of a 'work computer'; one that is in a domain? Has a volume license key? It almost has to be something like that, because this installation over here is not an OEM-edition.

Surely even with the reservation, the OS will not install itself without the user's explicit say so!?!?

Yes; the reservation popup said you could install immediately, or wait until 'the time was good for you.'
The things I am most interested in are these:
- Do we get a valid serial number, by mail or something?
- Do we get an option to download a fully updated ISO to re-install?
I don't relish having installing Windows 7 (I have a CD that was produced JUST before SP1 release, end of 2010), then update it to SP1, then update it with 500 million updates, then upgrade it to Windows 10, then upgrade that to the latest version, if I ever need to reïnstall.
For some time, Microsoft offered full ISO's for Windows 7 through Digital River, but they stopped doing that in Febuary this year.
