Just the normal Windows Updates. The next full update the public will get
is RC1.

Hi,
Is it going to be an update or a full reinstall?

You can keep it forever but it will quit working on June 30, 2007, as you
can see by typing "winver" into the Start Search box (and hitting Enter).

Even if Upgrade is an option for RC1, many in this ng argue against it. The
TechBeta testers are testing some of the upgrade scenarios in the more
structured testing that goes on in that group so don't worry if you feel a
clean install is a better idea. However, when Vista releases to
manufacturing (rtm's) then I think a clean install is the only way to go.
Period.

There are many ways to "archive" builds. The best is probably by using
Virtual Server 2005 R2 and just storing the virtual machines on an external
hard drive. I don't see much point in devoting a partition to old builds,
however. Why bother? You can also just keep the dvd's as museum pieces.

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was the end of something or other.
