Re: [Info] Windows 7 Upgrade FAQ

The question that I ask is what are we to do when the Beta and RC starts shutting down every two hours?

MS says to format and install a legit Windows OS. They expect everyone to install a different version for what 3 months or so?

And please, I do not need a lecture on a image or running Win 7 in a VM.

Didn't they warn about this? That the available use of the RC's would end in June (I think it was June)? This is one reason why I didn't bother installing a RC.

I guess you have to reinstall your original OS until Windows 7 is released?

I went into it with eyes fully open. I had thought that there might be another build or an extension to the shutdown time.

It just doesn't seem logical to pull the plug way before the final OS is released.

I thought the beta expires soon, but the rc one doesn't start rebooting until next year. If your running the rc, you should be fine without any reboots until a while after windows 7 is out.

Yes. It's too early to worry about something especially if its 12 months away.
