Nick is right (for once)- you can essentially add any vista install onto any PC using a DVD by not entering a product key during setup.

It essentially lets you install a 30 day trial of Windows on the PC, this is intentional, so that you can test it for things like compatibility before activating it.

I wipe them about the same time period anyway, but I use the same thing for virtual machines - install Ultimate, without putting a key in, then wait until the 30 days is up - for testing new applications before I install them on the main PC.
