RE: Rollback Windows XP upgrade to Vista?
In addition, once you install Windows Vista RC1, you cannot roll back to the
previous operating system installation—you will either have to acquire and
install the final released edition of Windows Vista or reinstall a previous
edition of Windows. Before installing Windows Vista RC1 on any computer,
please remember to back up all your files.
