Am I allowed to transfer my software from one device to another when I
upgrade using Windows Anytime Upgrade?
Microsoft is modifying the end user license agreement for full packaged
product versions of Windows Vista purchased through a retailer or from
Microsoft, and then upgraded using Windows Anytime Upgrade. Under the terms
of the modified license agreement, you are now granted the right to uninstall
Windows Vista and then reinstall the operating system on a different
computer. Provided you uninstall the operating system from your original
computing device and do not share the license among multiple devices, you are
no longer limited in the number of times that you may reassign the license to
different devices. This modification is effective immediately, and will be
included within future versions of the end user license agreement. All other
terms of the end user license agreement apply to your use of the software.

It is possible to buy a retail FPP (full packaged product) of Windows Vista
Home Basic, and then later purchase a Windows Anytime Upgrade to Windows
Vista Home Premium (or Windows Vista Ultimate). Thus, one would be able to
"reassign the license" to another computer.
This doesn't specifically address Barry's question regarding buying an
upgrade version of Windows Vista, but I wanted to reply here for the benefit
of someone looking for related information.
