Is Windows Vista updates recommandable before upgrading to Windows 7?

Should I just upgrade directly from Windows Vista in the original edition
(after a recovery) and without all the other updates to Windows 7 (saving a
lot of time), or is it better to do all Vista updates before upgrading to
Windows 7?

Neither is really better, but there's no particular advantage to doing
the updates first. I would upgrade without doing so.

No need to do the updates since Windows 7 will be replacing Vista entirely.

Thanks!
Using a laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista and upgrading to Windows 7.
Next time a complete recovery is necessary I'll save a lot of time going
directly from recovery to Windows 7 upgrade, Besides I plan to make an
image backup. Know it's not the right palce to ask, however many is
upgrading these days needing a complete backup before upgrade to Windows 7.
Any pro/cons Norton Ghost 15.0 http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost versus
Acronis 2010 http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ ?

I have a friend that LOVES Norton Ghost, I have never personally been
able to make it do what I want it to do. Acronis however works
perfectly for me! I had a laptop I was working on with a bad hard
drive, I made an image and after putting in the new drive, booting
from the boot disk Acronis made it restored the image to the new drive
and everything was perfect!! I highly recommend it!!!
