Vista Beta Notes Did You see these notes!!

[David Sherman]

You may not be able to upgrade your installation of Windows Vista Beta
2 (or RC1) to the final, commercially available edition of Windows
Vista. To upgrade you will need to acquire the final edition of
Windows Vista and you may have to do a clean installation.
Time-limited software

Windows Vista Beta 2 (and RC1) is time-limited, pre-release software
that will expire on June 1, 2007.

Well, yeh that's expected. It's very likely there will be another build from
Beta 2 (RC1) anyway - so don't worry about it. Just do a clean installation
and back up everything before you have a RTM copy of Vista.

from the windows vista "Get Ready" site:

When you register for the Customer Preview Program you will receive the Beta
2 release plus Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 (RC1) — the next major
pre-release of Windows Vista — when it is available later this year. The
information on this page pertains to both Beta 2 and RC1.

so there will be another pre-release version (RC1), and you're already
registered for it. you still might have to back up your files and do a clean
install when the RTM version comes out.
