I wouldn't count on it.  You couldn't upgrade from 2k to vista, only
from XP.  An upgrade from vista to win7 will have a lot less driver
issues and such to worry about, and the majority of the application
compatibility issues would have already been solved on vista, while
things that work with XP might not work with either vista of win7, so
you get all those issues again.

Besides a fresh install of windows is still a good idea.  This isn't
Debian you are dealing with after all.
