Can I use a legal copy of Vista to upgrade illegal copy of windows?

I have a pc that is using illegal copy of windows xp. Can I use my legal Windows Vista upgrade cd to legalize the operating system? Will it be using the vista upgrade key from then on, or will it still be using the pirated XP key?
Just wondering.
Thanks!

A friend of mine was able to, but then quickly changed back to xp due to the fact that Vista isn't all that great. If you play any mmorpgs like WoW or Final Fantasy Online, I wouldn't even bother getting Vista. I have Vista (not by choice) on my laptop and atleast 3 times or more a day my WoW crashes because of Vista.

Nope, Vista will puke out on you.

Have fun!
