Unless I'm mistaken that was merely an unfounded rumour, otherwise it only applies if you buy the Upgrade version, in which case the license you buy is the equivalent to the license you had, so if you had the OEM license (as comes with PCs or is the cheaper option), you will retain the OEM license - if you had the full retail license, you'll get that.
The same upgrade applies to XP anyway, so it makes no difference if you have Vista or not.
It's normally cheaper to just buy another OEM license of the next operating system unless you have the full retail license and want to retain the flexibility it provides.
