The Beta expires on August 1, 2009, and bi-hourly shutdowns will begin July 1, 2009. The RC will expire June 1, 2010, and the bi-hourly shutdowns will begin on March 1, 2010. In both cases, you'll need to rebuild your test PC to replace the OS and reinstall all your programs and data. (Copied from MS website)

Works ok... much better than VISTA... the trick for the other computers I use is finding the right drivers for the various components... It would be nice to know that 7 is more like XP Professional and uses the same drivers, but that is not likely to happen. Windows 7 RC expires in August, doesn't it? And Windows 7 will not be officially released until October 22nd. But there will be other releases, I suspect. ________ Nobody in football should be called a genius.
