📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses the expiration of a Windows Starter edition, which is set to occur on August 1, 2009. After expiration, the extended features will be disabled, leaving the user with a basic, non-internet-connected version that cannot revert to a previous OS without reinstalling. The overall sentiment indicates concern and uncertainty about the limited usability post-expiration, with some members sharing personal experience and fallback plans.

And if it does what happens when it does and when will it expire? 😱
 

Solution
It expires August 1st, 2009.
When it expires, all extended features will be turned off. You'll basically have a non-internet connected Windows Starter edition. It'll be useless.

It wont even go back to your old operating system. 🙁

this is my main OS now for all things, but if they don't have win7 out by then (which they should its that ready) then I will have to fall back on my vista ult installs
