Download Windows 7 RC2 Free Before Time Expires
One thing many users do not like about Microsoft products is they’re never free. Windows 7 is one of those. Having said that, you should download the free Windows 7 RC2 (?) while expiration date is not yet here. Yes, we just did take advantage of the downloadable Windows 7 Release Candidate while it lasts.
Before trying to get the free Windows 7 RC via download links from the Microsoft website (32-bit and 64-bit available), here are some important dates you should keep in mind so jot these down on your notepads or calendars:
- Downloads will be available until August 20, 2009. After that, you can still install the RC and you can get a product key if you need one.
- Watch the calendar. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You’ll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use.
Windows 7 Tour and Preview
See? When you deal with Microsoft, nothing is totally FREE! There is always a catch. If you just want to play around with Windows 7 by looking at the preview of its features and capabilities, then go ahead and download your free copy. However, like we’ve said, this free download will not last for long. It’s only good until top brasses at Microsoft say so.
