I have heard that XP PRO will not "upgrade" to Vista HOME Premium. Is that
correct?

According to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeinfo.mspx that
is correct.

The way I read that page, having XP Pro does qualify you to use the
Upgrade version of Vista rather than the more expensive Full Install
version, but you must do a clean install of Vista Home Premium (using
the Upgrade CD) because your Vista edition does not have some of the
functionality that your XP edition does.

Good luck
