I did clean installed Vista SP2 RC from Vista SP2 RC DVD. Does this
means I have to clean install Vista SP2 RTM when it become available?
Can I upgrade instll Vista SP2 RTM on top of Vista SP2 RC?

It is never a good idea to do that.. A clean install is best..

Thanks for your response.
I come to realize that I did not pose my question correctly. What I
wanted to ask was if I could uninstall just the SP2 RC update in order
to install SP2 RTM update. Now, I have found it possible to do that.

Uninstalling the SP2 RC to install the RTM is the acceptable way to do this.
