Why only have one when you can have both?

Because if you purchase an upgrade version of Windows Vista to upgrade XP, you will no longer be able to use that version of XP. Either on another system, or as a dual-boot option. The key will be invalidated, preventing activation.

Then Im sorry to say -thats what you get for purchasing crappy upgrade disks - they are too much hassle in the long run, for example; have you tried installing win98 on modern machine (with SATA drives) then upgrading to XP? Its no fun believe me.
Always get the full version, or you will regret it later on.
