Absolutely correct. The Email was received on the 24th. The page Josh refers to is on the 26th.
Typically, Microsoft have not sent a further Email, correcting this. We are supposed to consult our local witchdoctors.
I have taken the liberty of amending the email copy in my first post, so noone gets the wrong date.
Thanks Josh and Loathe.
Wait let me understand this.... When the beta period finishes and we re install vista all our saved data will be deleted and we will have to reinstall everything again???? Surely that cant be right?
You have an early "leaked" version of the RC. The official version is build 7100. It also expires on the 1st of June, 2010.i'm a little confused, as i dl an earlier version (7077), and since it has worked soooooooo
well, i have never bothered to upgrade to the latest version. i've not seen anything in the forums that shows any great improvements to warrant such an upgrade. in fact, on the contrary, i've seen in the help forums quite a few reasons to leave well enough alone.
anyway, back to the point, my version says that it doesn't expire until march 1st 2010.
any thoughts about this?
as i stated above, i haven't moved to the rc, because my system is fast, appears secure and has ZERO problems. but it seems that sooooooo many people are having problems with the rc. i don't know, maybe their problems are because of them doing something wrong. but i thought that i would ride this version out until they let out something more official, or where there are some real improvements. everyone has said over and over that there are very few changes between the versions.
so you tell me now, if in your true opinion, it is worth me throwing all this away to get the latest version. because i would hate to lose this nice solid build, to download the newest one, and end up with a bunch of problems. ya know?
...and if so, what is the best address to download the lastest version?
ok I "upgraded" from the RC 7100 to 7137 2 days ago. can I do a system restore back a few days or do you think I need to do a clean install of 7100?
The RC is my main os and I'm not going back to XP, no way no how. I'll buy Windows 7 as soon as its available.
Rock on
