    Default Windows 7 extended?

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../download.aspx

    If I remember right it was supposed to expire this summer but apparently they stretched it to next summer?

    Sounds good to me.

    Beta expired this year, RC expires next year.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Is windows 7 stable enough to use as the sole OS? Any word if they "bugged" it to track people's use for "testing purposes"?

    i thought the purpose of RC1 was to track bugs for Microsoft development... I think they should offer some program like the top 100 people who find the most bugs gets a free copy of windows 7 ultimate or sumthin..

    They did something similar with vista. The top xxx of beta testers got a free copy of home premium.

    anyone else getting "windows will expire in 2 days" message?

    I'm using the RC product key, not the beta. I even went to MS's website and got a new key to be sure, but its popping up
