Since the free Release Canditate of Windows 7 worked very well, lots of customers did not update to the final of Windows 7 yet. So Microsoft decided to shut down the RC1 a little earlier than previously planned.

Here’s a nice timetable that Ralph’s Blog from Microsoft put together:

15. Februar you’ll get pop-ups that the testphase is ending. Twice a day.

26. Februar the pop-ups will show every 4 hours

28. Februar every hour

1st of March – The timebomb gets activated. The system boots every 2 hours to remind you of switching to the full version.

1st of June –Fin. Your licence of Windows 7 RC1 ends. The System switches to the “Notification State”.
