Ok. But as a private user I can't download it again?
And we can download the R1 when it comes out too right?

Hi David,
The way it's been explained to me the RC will be "widely available" which should be fully public, but that is in the lap of M$ so anything is possible
Got it thanks Nigel.
Lol so whats to stop us using RC1 instead of buying it?

The RC will be "timebombed" just as the Beta copies are - after a certain date they just won't work, not even boot, the date is normally 30 days after the Activation ends to allow you to save any files elsewhere after the system goes into reduced functionality mode.
Well couldn't you just change your BIOS clock?
Not that I am trying to get around this, just want to use it until I have the money to buy the real thing.

The 7057 is good for a year anyway
The clock thing may work until you go online but even then i think the timebome has all sorts of triggers - if it can't find a internet link for so long it will operate and stuff like that.
So it's not likely to be a simple thing
Hmmm. Good for a year will work just fine. :)
Thanks
