Re: Windows 7 Beta will reboot every two hours from today (1 July, 2009)
Why does Microsoft want to torture testers like this? 
IMO, a simple "Your version has expired" at boot-up should do fine, I dont know what they'll get by this 2 hour lockdown

Agreed.
But why cant MS make a simple timer, counting down to the day it expires? I'm sure that should be enough for the user.

Re: Windows 7 Beta will reboot every two hours from today (1 July, 2009)
By 2010 some wise person will develop the crack for this RC Version also.
And one simple trick is to change the time of ur PC. Will this work ?
