    Windows 7 W7 RC1 Expiration vs. W7 build 7127 Expiration

    Hi, It's my understanding that starting March 11th, those who are running W7 RC1 will experience an auto shutdown every 2 hours. Then, in June, the RC1 will lock you out of your system. Even if you buy the retail copy of W7 before June, there is no way to do an in place upgrade, rather, you...

    Windows 7 RC1 will HAVE to last until Mar 2010 at least. (7057 does)

    Hi everyone. It seems that we CAN use W7 until a retail version is released. Unless it was an almighty bo bo by Microsoft the 7057 build (best so far even in its X-32 incantation) doesn't expire until Mar 2010. If the official RC1 expires before that I'm sure there will be some...

    Windows 7 Return to Vista After the Beta Expires?

    When Windows 7 Beta expires in August, will there be a way to return to Vista? I noticed when installing the beta a folder called "Windows.old" was created. I assume this contains all the needed Vista system files. If you can't go back, what's the point of this folder?
