Windows 7 Beta Bi-hourly Shutdowns start Today

Last May, Microsoft began sending notification emails that the Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1, 2009. However the Bi-hourly shutdown will commence on July 1 which is today. This is Microsoft's way of reminding beta users to upgrade their BETA copy to Windows 7 Release Candidate which is good until March 1, 2010, when your PC starts the bi-hourly shutdowns again.


To avoid the Bi-hourly shutdowns, you should certainly look at giving the Windows 7 RC a try! You can register to download the Windows 7 RC here.
