Windows7 RC1 phases out

Posted by Stephan Kristyn on February 3rd, 2010 / No Comments

Because obviously the free Release Canditate of Windows7 worked very well lots of customers did not update to the final of Windows7 yet.
 
Microsoft decided to shut down the RC1 a little earlier than previously planned.
 
Here’s a timetable that Ralph’s Blog of 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 so called 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.
