Windows 7 RC To Expire Next Month
It�s time to upgrade from the Windows 7 Release Candidate.
While most people who tested Windows 7 have now moved to the final version, some are still running the Release Candidate. If you haven�t moved yet, it�s time to replace the RC. Starting on March 1, 2010 your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Your work will not be saved during the shutdown.
The Windows 7 RC will fully expire on June 1, 2010. Your PC running the Windows 7 RC will continue shutting down every two hours and your files won�t be saved during shutdown. In addition, your wallpaper will change to a solid black background with a persistent message on your desktop. You�ll also get periodic notifications that Windows isn�t genuine. That means your PC may no longer be able to obtain optional updates or downloads requiring genuine Windows validation.
