Compare the prices on this page and you will see that it's not worth it to
buy XP if you eventually want to get Seven.

XP PRO OEM is $190 and the Seven pro upgrade is $176 for a total of $366.

On the other hand Seven Ultimate FULL is $285, Seven Home Premium FULL $180
and Seven Pro FULL is $269, those FULL packages don't need a previous
version.

On what computer do you want to install this?

You'll need a Full (*not* upgrade) license for whichever edition best
meets your computing needs, of which you've told us absolutely nothing.

Compare Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate

If you search hard on the net, you will find that you DON't need
any previous version of Office XP or Vista to install Windows 7
using an upgrade DVD of Win7. This is a fact but morons, who
define morality, will tell you otherwise.

If you agree, I can post links to articles I have written about
this subject.

When you say legally what exactly do you mean by that. Do you
mean to say legality as understood by Microsoft who goes around
pirating somebody's Patent or legality as defined by morons whose
morality is completely twisted?
