XP compatibility

[Guest]

I want to install Vista RC1 (actually RC2, but it isn't available to me). I
want to upgrade, not a fresh install. What will happen to all my games and
programs that are already installed? Will they still work with Vista? Will
all my drivers still be installed? How about my network settings?

Remember that RC2 is considered a Release Candidate. You have to prepare
for things not to be working right after the upgrade. This could include
drivers, and applications. I myself have run into video and sound problems
on both RC1 and RC2. I have managed to resolve most of the issues but only
after spending several hours trying to resolve them.

Some of my games and applications don't run as well on Visa as on XP. That
is mostly because the software creators did not make games that worked for
Windows Vista. I can image Upgrades and fixes will be made when Windows
Vista officially gets released in January.
