Has anyone lost files or programs doing an update of Xp to Vista?

I have about 40g of data i would really hate to lose... I know this is a
beta release, I have the stones to update without bitching afterwards, just
want to have a fair amount of tranquility before getting to it...

I can't create a partition due to low space on disk, but i can update!

Thanks!

No, but you can lose functionality in some applications and some programs
might require updating before they are functional again under Vista. I
suggest running the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to help diagnose problems
from now:
