I'm planning on buying the final version of Windows Vista when its released
later this month. I was wondering if I can buy the upgrade version of Vista
Ultimate or if I need to buy the full version. I have Vista RC2 and I'm just
wondering which one I need since there is a little price difference. To sum
it up, I'm going from Vista RC2 to the final copy of Vista.
 
It may actually work. But I think legally uou need full. Anyway, Rc2 to RTM
is AWFUL I tried it...

It will work. it has to be a Full version of Ultimate though. The
prerelease versions
will not qualify an upgrade disk, and any other version (Home Premium,
Business) is considered a downgrade to Ultimate and is not allowable.

Hi,

You need the full version. The upgrade version will not be qualified by the
RC2 installation, it needs XP or 2000.

So if I return my laptop to XP, then if I bought the upgrade version of
Vista, it should work right?
 
If that is how you recover to XP then yes. You would recover to XP and then
run the Vista upgrade again.
