Okay, after a thorough searching of Microsoft's online help, I can't find any restriction on the For System Builders thing. I was working off of bad info, and was a dope to boot!
To be sure, why not place a call to customer service? Then at least you can always blame them later.
The only other thing I can say is that perhaps it would be a good idea to figure out every program and peripheral you plan on using, and then checking to make sure it's compatible with Vista. Lots of wierd stuff going on with the OS still, which is why I'm waiting to move up to it on my rig. You should also consider a dual-boot setup with XP Pro and Vista. That can get a little complicated, I've heard, but nothing you can't figure out or get help with on here.
