I think that it will find your existing version of vista, but I am not to certain about whether it turns around and wants to do a clean install or whether it does the whole upgrade bit.

It could be that the upgrade path is limited to the version of vista you are currently working with and the version of win7 that you are trying to upgrade to.

Personally, I will be going to linux next year when the RC licence runs out and just install vmware and run multiple copies of XP in virtual machines.

Hopefully by then, I will have upgraded to an i7 920 process with 32Gb of ram with triple SLi cards

Should be a lot of fun then I think
