Vista Ultimate to windows 7 Pro?

I am currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit and I want to install Windows 7
when it comes out.
According to the upgrade advisor I have to purchase the same "Ultimate"
version in order to just do an upgrade.
It says that if I want to install a lower version, I will have to do a clean
install.
My question is, if I purchase the lower version (Win 7 Professional), do I
have to purchase the full version and not the upgrade version?
IOW, can I still do a clean install from the upgrade version?
If I recall there was a just this work around when Vista was first released.
Would this still hold true for Windows 7?
TIA
