It is un-upgradable, per se.  But according to MS, you can use the Windows 7 Upgrade disc on a Windows 2000 install to get Win7.  It just involves a fresh install.
 "If you have Windows XP or Windows 2000, you can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade versions. But you must back up your files, clean install, and reinstall your applications."

Thanks for this information, it is interesting to see how the prices have gone down.  I think the point the analyst was making is that the OSes are priced too high if the goal is to get users off of their old OSes (which is true). Apparently the analyst thinks that is what the goal should be.  However, MS's goal looks to be maximizing OS revenue instead.

And really, why should MS be worried about getting people off of old OSes just for that sake?  They can discontinue support (and the associated costs) for the old OSes whenever they are willing to take the publicity hit.The analyst is barking up the wrong tree.

I went looking for these headphones based on this review.  Over at Best Buy, the reviews are horrible.  Most people agree that the sound is really good for the price (on sale for $30 now), but many people have had them snap and break on both ear cups, usually within a few weeks.
