Is Windows Vista updates recommandable before upgrading to Windows 7?

Should I just upgrade directly from Windows Vista in the original edition
(after a recovery) and without all the other updates to Windows 7 (saving a
lot of time), or is it better to do all Vista updates before upgrading to
Windows 7?

Neither is really better, but there's no particular advantage to doing
the updates first. I would upgrade without doing so.

No need to do the updates since Windows 7 will be replacing Vista entirely.

So I guess you would be doing an upgrade install? You could just
uninstall your antivirus/firewall protection to let the update process
go smooth.

Thanks!
Using a laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista and upgrading to Windows 7.
Next time a complete recovery is necessary I'll save a lot of time going
directly from recovery to Windows 7 upgrade, Besides I plan to make an
image backup. Know it's not the right palce to ask, however many is
upgrading these days needing a complete backup before upgrade to Windows 7.
Any pro/cons Norton Ghost 15.0 http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost versus
Acronis 2010 http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ ?
