Microsoft has said all along that it's a beta release that you should only use for testing. A clean install is the best way to test things like this. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/go-back-to-vista-then-install-windows-7#post-82305 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:56:04 +0000 raphoenix 82305@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@whs,<br /> Vista SP2 should contain all of SP1 so my guess is that SP2 would be Slipstreamed into Original Vista without messing around with SP1.<br /> SP2 will be released soon so you Vista folks will be getting a lot of questions.<br /> The article caused me to think about the time line.<br /> Not sure it that squirrelly Boot Manager Program will change the way Slipstreams are made?<br /> Just musing.

Personal Computers have around since the 1970s. Us ole Grand Dads are getting tired.

If I read this right, they don't seem to offer that option with the RC - or am I missing something. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/go-back-to-vista-then-install-windows-7#post-82268 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:38:02 +0000 raphoenix 82268@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Posted for Information - No Comment by Poster.<br /> <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#38;articleId=9131243&#38;source=NLT_PM" rel="nofollow">http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#38;articleId=9131243&#38;source=NLT_PM</a><br /> Regards,<br /> Rick P. </p>
