When it expires (open Start and type: Winver) I believe it locks you out of the OS. Correct me if I am wrong.
I suggest upgrading to Windows 7 RC @ http://www.microsoft.com/windows7
As far as I know only win 7 version 7000 (beta) is going to start to time out on July 1, 2009. 7057 should not expire then but you will probably want to upgrade before it does. the current build is 7260 ( for 32 bit 7229 for 64) and it is close to what rtm is going to be
Let me know if you need help

The 7057 will expire on the date winver shows for the RCs. The RCs will start seeing shutdowns every 2hrs. from then on until 6/1/2010.
By the time 6/1/2010 comes along most will either already have been running the finished 7 after 10/22 or worn out from the 2hr. shutdowns for sure! Anything after the 7048 I believe saw the 3/1/2010 date on them. The 7022, 7032 are too close to the 7000 beta there.
Thanks! When I type winver it stands: Windows 7 Ultimate Evaluation copy. Expires 02.03.2010 01:59
So I can work on this beta 1,5 year? :) To 2010?
Correct, though I still suggest you upgrade to build 7100 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/
