These are the upgrade options.
There are no other upgrade paths other than for XP or Windows 2000.
Those can go from the current OS to any other of the VISTA OS models.

Fine... but it's obvious that you aren't paying attention, bozo. The
upgrade path being asked about involves Windows Anytime Upgrade.

Here is the exact quote from the cite I posted earlier:

======
Using Windows Anytime Upgrade is a new way to upgrade your 32-bit
edition of Windows Vista to another 32-bit edition of Windows Vista by
purchasing the upgrade online. Pricing information for each edition of
Windows Vista is available as part of the Windows Anytime Upgrade
process.

1. Open Windows Anytime Upgrade by clicking the Start button Picture
of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and
Maintenance, and then clicking Windows Anytime Upgrade.

2.Follow the instructions on each page.

When the upgrade is complete, you will have a new edition of Windows
Vista running on your computer. To learn more about the new features
that you just installed, read "What's new in Windows Vista" in the
Welcome Center, which you'll see on your desktop, or search for
"What's new" in Help and Support.

For more information about Windows Anytime Upgrade, to compare and
purchase editions of Windows Vista, and to get pricing information, go
to Windows Anytime Upgrade online.

Note: To use Windows Anytime Upgrade, you must already be running a
32-bit edition of Windows Vista.

Ok,

1) Which installed package are you currently running?

Again,
If you are running VISTA Home Basic, you have 2 upgrade paths (with the
upgrade CD or the anytime upgrade option). You can update to Home
Premium or Ultimate.
If you are running VISTA Home Premium, you only have one upgrade path
Ultimate.
If you are running VISTA Business, you can upgrade to Ultimate.

These are it. I've already asked about other combinations on this list
and was only told this is IT.

You don't. You can connect to a share if you have proper credentials, the
computer itself need not join the domain.

net use \\servername\sharename /user:YOURDOMAIN\yourdomainuser

So if you connect to a server called "fileshare" and use the "data" volume,
with the username fvfox, in domain COMPANY then you'd use:

net use \\fileshare\data /user:COMPANY\fvfox
