According to Engadget.com, Windows 7 Release Candidate licenses won't expire until June 1, 2010. That seems to be a really long time for a release candidate.

Ya, that is unprecedented. ComputerWorld also reported on this. I'm running W7 X64 now but don't know where that info is located ATM.

That's incredibly long hey. I wonder what that means in terms of the RTM release date. October was supposed the release date. Maybe MS are wanting to just let folk get used to it before buying?

My About Windows window shows a different date:
OS: Windows 7 RC x64



Also for x64

I must be having a brain fart because I can't get to the place to find out the info in the first image.

I use the Start menu/ Run box & type in "winver" w/o the quotes.

mmm Mine expires March 2, 2010...wonder if the expirey date shifts out depending on installation date with a final expirey of June 1, 2010?

More than likely it's a time zone thing Graham as we all installed on different days. I'm just guessing though.
