Hi Rick,

The Vista Upgrade Advisor was only desigend for use with Windows XP and
Windows Vista itself. I don't understand why Microsoft couldn't add in
support for Windows 2000 as well, especially since they allow Windows 2000
and Windows XP to be upgraded. I'm baffled. If you visit the Microsoft page
that contains the Upgrade Advisor, you'll see that it doesn't work with
Windows 2000.

Thanks,
Zan
