Office 2007 upgrade from Costco Store

[Puzzled]

Want to buy the MS Office Professional from Costco, great price, their
product says the prerequisite is XP, I'm running 2000. Is that a challenge
with Costco labeling? I thought you could upgrade to 2007 from 2000.

I'm thinking, Puzzled means Office 2000 or Office XP

I interpreted Puzzled's question as "I am running Windows 2000 and want to purchase Office 2007 - can I run it on Windows 2000?" Puzzled is very vague in specifying Windows or Office 2000 or XP. Both version names exist in each system. The Costco box clearly means Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Who wastes a Windows server license to run a retail version of Office 2007??
