Till which date Windows 7 RC will be valid and working

[Stroud]

Hey!
I have Windows 7 Beta Official Build 7000. I have heard that Windows 7 RC Build 7100 is scheduled to go live for public download on May 5th 2009. Well i have tried the Beta Build but it seems like nothing less then the RC build. So i would try the RC build too... My question is till which date or till what period is Windows 7 RC expected to be valid? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance...

Hey!
As per my understanding the RC version of Windows 7 will be valid and running till the RTM version is out...! Well i'm not sure for that as the beta will be valid till 1st August 2009 so the RC may be valid for a much longer period...! All the best..!

Hey!
I have heard that the Windows 7 RC build will be valid till March 1st, 2010. I've read this from a news site... It is better to wait for the RC release first... Then its expiry date will be known accurately...! All the best...!

This is far late from the RTM release... Enjoy...!
