Will Vista Beta 2 (build 5384) upgrade to RC through RTM?

[Guest]

Basically if you install Build 5384.4, will you be able to do an in-place
upgrade to the next RC and then finally to the RTM, or is it a full install
for each build until the actual final RTM?

Its possible that build to build upgrades of the beta will be supported in
the software, but the scenario is not supported or recommended since unknown
problems can take place that will make it complex to diagnose issues. No,
the RTM will not support upgrades from the betas/RCs.

No info on this yet. However, you usually don't see this option until the
Release Candidate versions are on the scene.
