Vista RC2
 
Anyone know when it runs out if it hasn't already? I signed up for it but went back to XP, I'll be getting the full version in a few weeks and was hoping to get used to it again before I buy it.

June or July i think you get 30 days before you have to activate anyway but you wont be able to upgrade to full version (I mean you will have to do a full install)

start/run
Type in winver and it should tell you your expiration date.

If its past anyway just set bios date a couple of months early and still get 30 days

Soz - quickly read the post and went to Google. I'll consider meself suitably ignored for trying but dying though. :erm:
In any case, found some people were saying July 1st, while some mentioned May 31st. I seem to recall mine being June 1st though IIRC.
