microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setu

Hi,

Will Vista upgrade DVD allow me to install Vista with Windows XP Corporate
Edition as a qualifying product. I have it on my laptop as a bonus from
work. I want to delete the XP partition during the Vista install and create
a new partition ie do a clean install of Vista Ultimate.

I'd rather do this than in the Vista upgrade trick install to get a clean
installation.

Is this possible?

You would need a "Full Version" of Windows Vista
in order to perform a clean install. The "corporate"
Windows XP license belongs to the company and not
you and it cannot be transferred to you as it is a
Volume License.
