CodyB Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) There is the Release Canidate 1 version of the new OS Windows 7 and I like it so much better than Vista, Ive been running XP since the first service pack came out for it. Vista came on this laptop and after it crashed and took away about $300 worth of website work, I have never gone back to it, The RC came out and I like it so far. The only thing is it starts shutting down every two hours after june or july. Corrected in my lower posts. Upgraded to Windows 7 RC1 Build 7100, Its nice, Ill be upgrading to it when it comes out. Desktop, No more text by the app Icons on the Start Bar. If you hover over the icons, a live preview pops up and greys out the other windows if they are open. If your watching a video in Media Player, It shows the video live too. Start menu looks a lot alike to Vista, but its more customizable. The icons by the time hide and show up in a popup like the live view of the windows.

infkt Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Why is it going to start shutting down every 2 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobClay Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think that's if you don't have a product key. With a product key from microsoft you get a whole year free.

CodyB Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Their way of making you buy a copy... Remember expiration dates: Please plan ahead for the Beta and RC expiration dates. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to rebuild your test machine using a valid version of Windows before the software expires. Windows will notify you that the expiration process is beginning and two weeks later your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. The Beta expires on August 1, 2009, and bi-hourly shutdowns will begin July 1, 2009. The RC will expire June 1, 2010, and the bi-hourly shutdowns will begin on March 1, 2010. In both cases, you’ll need to rebuild your test PC to replace the OS and reinstall all your programs and data.

RobClay Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think they should give beta testers a copy for free Quote 2 SSA Xcon 18's Sundown 2500D Pioneer 4 Stinger SPV35 batts SecondSkin Audio Damp Pro Knukonceptz Flex[/size][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyB Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think they should give beta testers a copy for free Im just going to use my vista license and get an upgrade copy if I buy it, I might get it free from school...
