Workaround for a "Clean Install"

This is interesting ... was it an error of omission?

Microsoft internal documentation reveals a workaround for Vista Upgrade DVDs with no need for a previous version of Windows

Just when everyone thought that all hope was lost when it comes to performing a clean install with a Windows Vista Upgrade DVD, a gleam of light can now be seen at the end of the tunnel. A new workaround proposed by Paul Thurrott (via Microsoft internal documents) has been confirmed to work by DailyTech.

Has anyone tried this on XP? I mean, tried to load XP on a clean drive with no OS and only an upgrade CD?

Gotta go buy some upgrade CDs. They're gonna be hot items in 6 months when MS finally fixes this.
