You may consider to use PickMeApp instead of WETC (windows easy transfer companion ).
* WECT may transfer your XP programs and settings to Vista and supports about 100 programs
* PickMeApp may transfer programs and settings to and from XP and Vista (xp2xp,xp2vist, xp2win7, etc). They claim to support unlimited number of programs. PickMeApp may solve transferring programs from one HDD to another on the same PC.

There is no need to do a clean install, I used Zinstall XP7 (http://www.zinstall.com) and it transferred not only all my files but also the programs and I didn’t have to re install anything.
I think it’s a much better solution.

Will this work for Windows 2000 to Windows 7?

I thought the term for an upgrade without a clean install was “in-place upgrade.”

In any case, I would certainly consider either option to be an upgrade. After all, there are many things that require complete replacement to be an upgrade, like if you were upgrading your CPU or video card. For an OS, you just need a more specific term for the type of upgrade you want to do.

Actually, it is possible – well nearly. I followed the info here http://www.help2go.com/forum/contributors/103383-xp-win7-upgrade.html#post431517 and it worked brilliantly.

If someone could put that into a one shot disk it would be fantastic.

[...] How to Upgrade Windows XP To Windows 7 [...]

I have to agree the above comments.
We have a huge installed base of Windows XP customers.
Our situation aside, Large Corporate Customers WILL NOT roll out Windows 7 without an automated, scriptable way of upgrading from XP. “Upgrade” means KEEPING user settings and Applications that are installed – A bonus would be to KEEP the configured setting on those applications as well.
The currently described upgrade, while possible on a single computer, is a total nightmare when thousands of computers are involved.

I would think we’ll be holding off recommending an upgrade to Windows 7 until a smooth, automated, path has been provided by Microsoft.

I think the folks who complain about an “upgrade” skipped over the line where the article mentions: unfortunately there is no direct upgrade option is available from Windows XP to Windows 7.

It is no longer difficult in the business IT world to reload applications if they have a good repository in the first place.

All I care about is restoring all my data, why do I care about re-using an application when all it takes is to reinstall it? How many applications in the office do YOU use? I have a handful that I really care about and they all can be reinstalled within 30 minutes.

The point about Windows 7 is that it is compatible with older applications while it improves upon performance (this means faster performance!). It did not require for me to install any special OEM drivers on my laptop as it had all necessary drivers. Even my built-in fingerprint reader worked out great.

If you’re not “upgrading your laptop” (how about that?) from Windows XP to Windows 7, then you are really missing out on new features. Between Windows XP and Windows 7, I believe tests show that the performance was about the same but technology features differ widely.

I have been using Windows 7 for several weeks and have to say it is extremely stable, therefore, highly recommended.
