Can with Upgrade from beta2 to 5728 ?
Because when I try to do it, the "Upgrade" icone is not accessible
and I can do only a "Clean Install"

Thank you to tell me how you did it, if somebody did it?

According to the documentation on 5728 provided by Microsoft:

Q: Is there an upgrade path available for 5728?
A: Yes - if you have an existing Windows XP Home or Professional
installation, please attempt an upgrade to one of the Windows Vista 5728
SKUs. Build to build upgrades are not supported except from Beta 2.
Upgrading from Windows XP x64 edition to Windows Vista is not supported in
this build either, However, you can use Windows Easy Transfer or User State
Management Tool (USMT) to collect settings and migrate any important data.
If you have a Toshiba M4000, M4, or M5 please perform a clean install. As
well, if upgrading there is a problem with themes you may notice.

From what this says, you SHOULD be able to upgrade from Beta2 to 5728 unless
you are on a Toshiba laptop listed above.

If it works like 5600 to 5728, in order to upgrade you have to do it from
within Windows. Booting to the DVD will not give you that option.
