I was wondering if anyone here could help clarify this for me. According to this website.
http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/content.aspx?ctId=390
It clearly shows that Windows 2000 cannot be upgraded to Vista without a clean install. But then it says at the bottom and I quote "If you are running Windows 2000, you must install SP4 to upgrade to Windows Vista. "
Can someone shed some light on this and explain if windows 2000 can be upgraded to vista if it has SP4 ?
Thanks!

I don't think it can be a straight upgrade if I remember correctly. You'd have to upgrade to XP, then upgrade to Vista. SP4 allows the use of Windows easy transfer though. (as I just double check in my books.)A+/N+/S+/L+/Svr+

Windows 2000 qualifies for upgrade pricing, but requires you to either upgrade to XP Pro first OR format and reinstall from scratch.-Daniel
