I havent tried the Vista Beta yet but i want to but the one think im worried
about is that i read that you cant switch back to your previous OS I have XP
right now and want to try Vista, if i try it will i be able to just reinstall
XP like i usually do to clean my computer off?
 
If you install Vista on separate partition or another HDD then there should
be no problem switching between them.

If you mean installing XP on a drive that had Vista... It should work but if
you want to play it safe, before going to XP setup, insert the Vista DVD and
go to the boot folder, then run bootsect /nt52 ALL /force
 
If you install Vista Beta, either as an update or as a clean install, of
course you can go back to XP by reformatting and then installing. Heck you
can go all the way back to DOS if you want.
