Can I upgrade form Ultimate RC2?

I have on my laptop Windows Vista Ultimate RC2. Can I upgrade it with Windows
Vista Ultimate Box Upgrade?
I have original, licensed Windows XP Professional also.
And second question:
Can I upgrade from english version to polish version?

Help will be apreciated.

The beta's and RC's are not qualifying products for upgrading.

No. Only upgradeable products are WinXP and Win2K. Sorry.

If you purchase an Ultimate full edition you can use the upgrade option in
Setup to preserve your files, settings, and apps. Otherwise you will need
to reinstall XP to use an upgrade edition.

I just used Retail Vista Ultimate (Upgrade Edition) to upgrade MY RC2 x64
install. I also have MCE 2005 installed on that computer on a seperate HD.
I started the Vista Setup DVD from the Vista RC2 Desktop and it gave me both
the "Upgrade" and "Clean Install" options. The upgrade ran flawlessly and
all my hardware and 3rd party software made it through the process without
any problems. You can indeed upgrade from RC2.
