Um... Dude, yes Win7RC is Ultimate, however, the finals will be Home,
Pro, and Ultimate. WOW, get educated about the subject BEFORE replying.
Not to be an A-hole, its just why would you WANT to mislead someone
because you know nothing of what you are posting about?

Of course you will want to do a fresh install! Why on earth would you
want to upgrade an RC even if it were possible?? In the first place,
your RC should by all means be a separate install. You will be able to
upgrade your Vista or XP install that you didn't, (Shouldn't have),
disturbed. ..Or buy the FULL version and do a clean install that way.
(Although MS states that Only a Clean install can be done with XP, and
can be done with the Upgrade) MOF you HAVE to have a valid XP or VISTA
install to upgrade as stated by MS anyway. Friggen A!

There is no need for polemics or mindless rantings here. I am just saying
that if you want to upgrade the RC, then you will have to purchase Ultimate.
Not everyone sits in their parents' basement tweaking computer systems all
day long, never seeing the light of day. If you have a stable installation
of the RC, then there is no reason not to want to upgrade it.

Yes.

No, although there is reputed to be a workaround that makes it
possible.

backup handy just in case.
