Switching Vista Keys

[Confused vendor]

I work as a vendor (v-) at Microsoft (Main campus, redmond). My laptop has
the version of Vista (enterprise) and Office 2007 that are available on the
corporate network.

Now what I would like to do when I get off the project, is to instead of
formatting my laptop and reinstalling some retail version of all the
software, just switch the product keys. So questions:

Is the scenario I am describing possible? If yes, then how do I go about
implementing the solution?

No. You'll have to reformat and install Vista
and Office from scratch. Retail product keys
will not be accepted since your software has
an embedded Enterprise license agreement.

Hi,

There are some key update tools out there that work on Vista to change
between versions, but none that I know of that can specifically switch
enterprise to a retail version, much less the office software.
