I would like to upgrade my XP box to Win7 but I don't want to reinstall all of my apps from scratch. There's a lot of them and I would have to find all of the old installation media.
Can I upgrade XP to Vista and then Vista to Win7? Do I even need a license for Vista if I'm not even going to run it?
If you have done this, do you have any tips to make things go smoothly?

So, if you want to go 64 bit you're going to have to reload. -- “Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.” ¯ Robert A. Heinlein
