    No, although there is reputed to be a workaround that makes it
    possible.

    Thanks. This will help with planning. I still have my pre-RC Vista image
    backup handy just in case.

    Had nothing to do with being an "a-hole" I was responding to an
    irresponsible post that simply had one word, "Ultimate" which is not
    helpful at all. My post to the OP was mostly inline, but was a bit
    A-holeish regarding doing his work for him. I would ABSOLUTELY expect
    that sort of response had I posted without doing my OWN "homework."
    Unless you have been the victim of BAD advice, you really don't know
    what you are talking about. I have to deal with client's computers that
    got borked due to BAD ADVICE on a daily basis, so yeah, I get totally
    annoyed by such advice. This news group, and well, the internet in
    general is riddled with BAD ADVICE. .. So sue me if I don't like it.


    G'day

    Don't pick a fight with an old man.
    If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
