Just wondering can you buy like the vista home premium upgrade and install it
on XP? Or do you have to buy the full OS?

Upgrading an existing system is exactly what the Upgrade version of
the OS is for.
 
Vista upgrade must be started from within a running copy of Windows.
If you ever need to reinstall Vista, you have to install XP or 2000
first.
Or make an image of the new Vista install.
