Hi FRUSTRATED,
I am not an expert but a student end-user and hope the following may be
somewhat helpful.
1) This page:

I imagine that if you uninstall on your current machine, you should be able
to reinstall when you upgrade to Vista but I am not 100% sure. You raise very
good questions though and I hope someone will be able to help you. There is
an 800 number on one of the above links and I think they may be able to
confirm this.
2) In another topic, garfield-n-odie says:
"If it is a retail-box copy, then the answer is one desktop and one
laptop both owned by you. If it is a preinstalled (OEM) copy that comes
with a new computer, then the answer is one (only the computer that the
software came with)."
Good luck!
