3. mostly it takes longer, but then all your installed programs and files remain intact.
4. How to clean install with UPGRADE Disk
a. follow all instructions except when ask to insert the KEY leave it blank.
read the popup carefully. continue
b. final is full operational and good for 30 days.
c. any time within 30 days insert your UPGRADE Disk click upgrade
and when ask insert the KEY you will then have
100% the same install as FULL Version. ONLY CHEAPER.
UPGRADE disks for Vista Ultimate.

I don't know the full story. I heard that you can upgrade from the RC, but I don't know if you have to use the Upgrade or not.

You know, I don't know. I have heard only that you need the disk. I would imagine the key would be needed, but I would think that the disk would be sufficient.

Guys your not looking very close if you can not find the UPGRADE Disks. PS: The biggest difference I have found in RETAIL-FULL and RETAIL-UPGRADE is the KEY... x86 and x64 KEYS are the same..
