You can do clean install with a upgrade DVD.

If you are using Win7 Upgrade version then technically under the EULA you should be using it on the machine which the qualifying Vista factory OEM is legally licensed for.

That said, this is all on the honor system since you can clean install Win7 Upgrade version using the workarounds which theog posted above. But you should have another qualifying OS to use Upgrade version.
