I have installed Vista RC1 (Release Candidate 1) and I am happy with it. I wonder how long will I be able to use it because it works fine for me and I can not see reason to buy full released version. I hope it will not stop working after some time or something like this. Do you have any information about this?
Unfortunately for you, Vista Release Candidate 1 is time limited operating system and it will expire Jun 1. 2007. You must admit that it would be very lame from Microsoft to allow Release Candidates and Betas to be useful indefinitely. How many people then would buy final versions? So, if you are going to use Vista you will have to buy full version after Jun 1 2007.
