Even if you could I doubt the process would be clean & simple.
I suggest using a second hard disk on the same PC to install the new operating system so that you can try it out first. Most newer PCs will allow you to choose the hard disk you wish to boot from.
It's the only failsafe solution.

"There are three installation scenarios for Windows Vista RC1:
1. You can do a clean installation. This process will overwrite any data that you have on your hard disk or on your installation partition. The overwritten data will be lost and unrecoverable.
2. You can upgrade an existing installation of Windows XP.
3. You can upgrade an existing installation of Windows Vista Beta 2."
"In addition, once you install Windows Vista RC1, you cannot roll back to the previous operating system installation—you will either have to acquire and install the final released edition of Windows Vista or reinstall a previous edition of Windows."

The only way you will be able to roll back to XP is if you have an image of it. If you upgrade, there is no other easy way of going back.
