You can use the upgrade disc, but must do a clean install with xp. Vista you can upgrade, as long as it's the same level of OS, ie: Vista ultimate can only be upgraded with win7 ultimate, otherwise a clean install must be performed.

For the OP - As long as you download the iso and get a key code from ms before it's finished, you can install anytime, no rush. Up till the RC expires anyway.
