Vista - Rolling back a vista upgrade, back to the original version of vist

Is it possible to upgrade your version of vista to a better version and then
if you wanted to, downgrade back to the original version?

Hi Jack,

No, not without starting over with a clean install. Any upgrade to an NT
system is not reversible in this manner.
