I know that there are lots of people that are worried about the future
upgrade of their actual XP-based systems to Vista, so here 2
points of interest for you:
- Windows XP systems will be upgradable to Vista
- Microsoft is working a lot during this Beta Testing phase to improve the
easy transition from an XP-based machine to Vista.
again about this, remember that Vista Beta 2 is:
- Upgradeable from Windows XP SP2 including Windows Media Center
2004/2005
- NOT upgradeable from any previous beta build
Microsoft is really making a stress-test fro this upgrade phase and on the
last mail sent to all the Beta testers involved on the project, there's a phrase
that explicitly says that "The preferred test method for Beta 2 is to close
all running applications and upgrade a Windows XP system. Your efforts here are
appreciated so that we can assure a smooth upgrade experience for users when the
product is final.".
So, don't believe on who says that XP will not be upgradable...
