Jupiter:

I thought Vista retail will come with both x86 and x64 on two DVD's. So
surely at least the full edition is not OEM only.

Personally, I have never seen an OEM version that wasn't an eligible product
for upgrade, plus the GetReady page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...gradeinfo.mspx
specifically says it is. Copied from the notes

Notes:
If you are currently using Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP
Professional x64, you are eligible for an upgrade copy to a corresponding or
better edition of Windows Vista, but a clean install is required.
