Uninstalling Windows XP SP3 RC

If I install Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate, and there are bugs in it, will I be able to just uninstall it and go back to SP2?

It couldn't be worse.

You can just go into Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and click remove. You might be surprised that it's there, but it is.

Unless you really need to check XP SP3 Release Candidate for compatibility with software or something like that I wouldn't recommend installing it before it is released officially to the public.

While an Uninstall feature exists this is still not fully released software (although in the RC state you might end up having this release as the official one).

Personally, I would wait for the official release and if you must test it for compatibility install it on a different computer or on a virtual machine like VmWare, Parallels or VirtualPC.
