thealexweb Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 You shouldn't have installed a Beta in a primary desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 It's 2010, not 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I thought RC was not going to restart every 2 hours until March 2010? EDIT: +Sethos beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperOfThePizza Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 You shouldn't have installed a Beta in a primary desktop. Whys that? I have nothing special on this computer? I use my computer for browsing and watching movies. It's 2010, not 2009. Oh good, I have no idea why I thought it was in June of 09. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witt3439 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I mean absolutely NO disrespect towards anyone, but why would you want to run an RC release after Windows 7 goes RTM? I for one plan to be running the RTM version long before the RC version starts to go through it's shutdown routine (assuming Microsoft doesn't hit a major snag, in which case there will probably be a second RC).

I'd love to be able to run the retail version as soon as it's available. But in this economy (I've been laid-off from my job since November and nobody is hiring at the moment) the RC will suffice until I can afford to purchase the retail version.

I do plan on upgrading before the end of the year though. :) Also, remember that during the Vista launch, Microsoft gave away a lot of free copies to people. I'm going to wait a little and see if they'll do that this time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ba'al Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Will my computer restart ever 2 Hours..., After June 1st 2009?I'm wondering how long I have until I have to reformat? Your computer will restart every two hours after 1 March 2010, if you're still using the RC then. On 1 June 2010, it will expire completely. That's pretty long though, if what Acer said is true, Win7 will be on store shelves on 23 October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhapimp Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm wondering how long I have until I have to reformat? are you talking about the 7000 version or the rc if it's the rc then you have until july Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 ...if it's the rc then you have until july Wrong. If it's the RC (build 7100), you have until March 2010. If it's the Beta (build 7000), you have until it expires in July 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Wrong. If it's the RC (build 7100), you have until March 2010. If it's the Beta (build 7000), you have until it expires in July 2009. Correct. Beat me to it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
