You can upgrade your installation of Windows Vista Beta 2, RC1 or RC2 to the final, commercially available version of Windows Vista. You will need to acquire the final version and launch the installation from within Windows XP. Beta versions of Windows Vista are Time-limited software and are not supported by Microsoft after they are finalized. Windows Vista Beta 2, RC1 and RC2 are time-limited, pre-release software that will expire on May 31st 2007 or June 1, 2007.
