As promised, on May 5th(late Monday evening ?) Microsoft released the Release Candidate build (7100) to all users through Microsoft’s Customer Preview program. The good news is that RC build will work nicely for about 13 months. That’s right, Microsoft will give users until June 1st, 2010 to run the darn thing. That’s pretty generous.
Although from March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010
