If we have Vista installed, is there a way to upgrade it?

Not sure; that's something you can ask Microsoft about

 

[Chris Z]

yup, if you download it in Vista Beta 2, you just find where you downloaded it, extract all the files from the iso and run setup.exe, that's exactly what i did and it works fine

just to restate what blong4life said, yes it will keep all of your files and settings, programs, etc intact, as a fresh install or "custom install" would not..

vista is really cool
waiting for final release

Does anyone know if this is faster then beta1, I mean I would imagine but was just wondering.

 

[bigguy]

I wouldn't really think it's going to be all that much faster. I haven't heard of any speed boosts.

Anybody know of any antivirus program that works with Windows Vista RC1? I used avast! with beta 2, but that does not work with RC1. Thanks for any suggestions!
