You can only upgrade to Vista from XP, and only certain versions of XP can be upgraded to certain versions of Vista. With any other Windows OS version, upgrade won't work--it must be a clean install of Vista. Regardless, anytime you decide to buy a new operating system from MS, it doesn't matter if you have a previously purchased version of an older OS--if that's what you were asking. So it doesn't really matter that you have the 2000 documentation. Here is the info on the MS website regarding upgrade options to Vista from other OS releases: Windows Vista: Upgrade planning
