Your key will still work as far as installation goes but it wont be valid for WGA stuff I would assume Like windows update (Not automatic updates), IE7, MP11 etc. Thats what I assume they mean anyway.
Though what happens If you just dont like vista or it is just too much of a hog for your system and you are planning to roll back to XP? Remembering the good old days of Windows ME, It would normaly go something along the lines of this.... Install Windows ME --> Computer trashed --> Hours Of misery --> Find 98SE CD --> reformat and reinstall.
