Should I purchase Upgrade version of Full Version?

If I am currently running Pre-RC1 or RC1, I think I have to do a clean
install, but for this do I have to purchase the Upgrade Edition or the Full
Version? What are the advantages of one over the other?
Thank You

If you are in that much of a hurry, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...gradeinfo.mspx where it
spells it out. In particular read NOTE 2 carefully.

For versions of Windows earlier than Windows 2000, upgrade copies are not
available. These earlier versions of Windows require you to install a full
copy of Windows Vista.
