Microsoft to shut down Windows 7 preview
 

Last year's free preview of Windows 7 will start nagging users to pay for the operating system in two weeks, and begin automatically shutting down PCs in one month, Microsoft reminded customers. Microsoft unveiled the schedule for Windows 7 Release Candidate's retirement in May 2009, when it issued the early look to the public. At the time, it said Windows 7 RC would expire June 1, 2010.

Just Microsoft's little "nudge" to upgrade to the full meal deal (they need the money). :D

I had the RC running on 2 very different computers up until very recently and I have nothing to complain about. A very good OS.

This OC is not bad, but the technical requirement to isntall it is too high. I have used it at home, but after 8 months started to run very slow.(but I had just 1GB Ram, and 2.6 Ghz Intel pr). For home users i would recommend, but to build a network with Win7 clients, I don not suggest. Very expensive, and small bugs with network printers.

In every new OS there will be small bugs. Our network run fine with 2008 as servers and W7 as clients. Way less problems than when we had Vista as clients.
