In my mind Vista is the beta version of Windows 7

First arrived? No, I don't think so.
I believe with Vista there is now an F10 function at boot-up that will retore to factory conditions. BUT. Anything that writes to the MBR will destroy that little bit of code. Installing XP will do this. You reinstall Vista using the recovery disk, but this F10 function will be lost forever. You would need to backup the C:/Drivers and C:/Apps. These hold, as you can guess by their names, the drivers and applications that Mesh supply.

No. See answer above
