I've read several posts about how you can do a clean install of vista using the upgrade CD. Does this work with the OEM version? If I have an OEM version of XP Home on my pc, can I use this technique with an upgrade Vista Premium OEM CD? If so, will this keep Vista from wiping out my XP key, just in case I want to go back?

Run Vista Install.

DO NOT ENTER A PRODUCT KEY.

Format, Instal, Enter product key after installation, activate.
