Hi,

I'm just curious if anyone else installed the WinXP RC2 beta over a month
ago? I installed my copy nearly 2 months ago (end of August) and its still
running. I was expected at the end of the 30 days for it to force me to
reinstall my previous OS or something but it hasn't.

I obtained this copy of RC2 directly from Microsoft (for the standard $9.95
beta fee) and activated it after installation. Shouldn't it have stopped
running by now?

Just curious ...

G.

It's good for 180 days not 30.

Wow really? Somehow I assumed it would end in 30 days just like my trial of
FrontPage 2002 did. Duh. (I know, I know, never assume!).

*whew* this means I have time to save up money to buy the full version then.
:o)

Thanks for the info!
