Hi,
Until 1 August 2009 it will work with that key you using. and after that may be it won't start at all. Otherwise, 30 days (like other OS), if activation is not done.

Keep in mind that Microsoft is working on the RC at the moment. They have not revealed what its availability will look like (will the public get access/if so how many) but there is a chance that there will be a new version to test out in the future.

That will be really great if we will get another chance to test the higher version of windows 7. Right now i'm just enjoying the free test beta version.

I have genuine XP...do you think there will be any free upgrade to windows 7 by Microsoft?

@darshit- I wouldn't count on a free XP to Windows 7 upgrade. Your better off hoping to get to test out the RC. There has been plenty of internet chatter about possible free upgrades for Vista users who buy a computer within a given period of Windows 7's release, but this has not been announced or verified by Microsoft.
