Windoes 7 back to Vista

[milt]

I have an Acer PC with Vista Home Premium preinstalled.

I want to upgrade to Windows 7 rc.
If I do not like Windows7 (or have issues with it) and want to revert to
Vista, can I simply uninstall the Upgrade?
--
I do not have a disc copy of Vista.

Thanks and Cheers...Robert

No, you will have to wipe out the drive and then do a clean install of
Vista. What I would suggest doing instead is a dual-boot scenario to see
if you like Win7 and if you don't, you can easily wipe it out.

Thanks Milt....haven't quite made up my mind yet.
Maybe I'll just chicken out until the regular issue comes out.

No need to chicken out. If you are not comfortable dual booting, then
just do as already suggested and use a virtual machine. (Vmware, Virtual
Box or MS's own Virtual Machine)It's not all that hard to install and
set up a virtual machine, and install an OS into it. However, you will
not get a real world test that way, (How it ACTUALLY performes on your
machine), as virtual machines use generic drivers etc. ..BUT, you can at
least run the OS and decide if you like the user interface, new things
and so on.
