Blackcomb was the codename for Vista when it was in Beta stage and before it was actually named Vista.

Either way, my advice to you, if you have a stable, working XP installation, is to leave well alone. Vista just isn't worth the hassle, I could go on for days about why, but I doubt everyone wants to hear the ins and outs of that, though its nothing a quick google search won't bring up droves of results on...

If you want something Vista esqe, but more reliable, wait on Windows 7. Its been worked on a lot and is actually more like what Vista should have been when it was released...
