Windows 7 Question

[lew!]

Hi, I was just wondering about windows 7.

If I download it now, Can I have it on my laptop forever or does it 'expire'
Do you think its ok to run it?

Also, These are my specs

[Stephen!]

If Vista runs ok, then W7 will run a little better.

the Beta expires feb 2010.

[lew!]

I just saw that it expires Aug 2009?
:S

[Stephen!]

They extended it due to popularity.

No Steven. You got that ALL WRONG

- The DOWNLOAD for NON Members of TechNet and MSDN expires February 10, 2009 , but will continue to give out keys.
- If you have paused your download, you can run it until February 12, 2009.
- The BETA will expire August 1, 2009, and you will be forced to go back to Vista or XP, and you must have a Disk .

Your Welcome

Thanks, I'm downloading it now! Is it possible to have both Vista and Windows 7 on my computer and each time i turn it on i can chose which OS i want to run?

[Jordulti]

Yes, create a partition and when it asks you what partition to use you use the one that you created.

Ah, but that's only the legal and honest way.

[Jordulti]

Yes, but having the legal version is better because apparently RTM is coming out on June 3rd, so you can do a legal upgrade
