Vista Home Premium EULA
You may not use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system.

BUT ... After the release of Service Pack 1, Microsoft Windows Vista is now covered under virtualization.
Read more: For consumers, Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Home Premium are now licensed for use in a virtual machine environment, and the updated SP1 and Supplemental end-user license agreement for each product by language version is available at http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/default.aspx
4. USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system on the licensed device.
