I would advise against it. This is the trick used in Vista Beta. Plus read the note:

Quote:
Note: This method may or may not works with current RTM release of Windows Vista (user feedback welcome), and may cause a blue screen loop or constant flicker, so use with care and proper backup is a must.
I haev tried this on a Vista Home Basic PC with a compatible card and it doesnt work.

It is browser realted so it can stay here. That is the only reason why i didnt close it, delete it or move it.

But AFAIK you can just update. If i am not mistaken i was able to update from beta 1 to beta 2.

You need to wait for Beta 4 if you want to see the new skin for Vista

Meh the performance of Beta 3 sticnks and Fasterfox is not compatible yet. Not worth the upgrade yet.
