RC2 to RTM Upgrade

Posted: 10-19-2006, 09:47 PM
Do you think Microsoft will offer an RC2 to RTM upgrade? I think I read a
posting where they said no?

Any ideas?

Microsoft has never offered such an upgrade and disclaims the possibility.
It may be possible but it would be prudent to plan on wipe and reinstall
when RTM comes out.

Even if they do, it would be to your benefit to do a clean install. Why
chance at all the possibility of having beta code leftover on your computer.

I think he means a lower cost upgrade.
