I know the W7 beta is officially out tomorrow and now that the patch as been issued to fix the MP3 corruption bug (the one thing I was holding off on), I think I’ll give this a stab as a dual-boot on my MCE machine. However, as this is a beta, I was wondering if this is time-limited at all? Is it a 30/90/120 time limited beta or an open beta release that will run until I chose to upgrade? I don’t want to have it an only play with it for 60days if I come to love it (although I doubt I will given that the libraries seem as messed up as Vista).

Does anyone know when the beta will ‘expire’?

Purely a guess this....I'm gonna say sometime about 7th July.  That's a guess, but I wouldn't expect it to work much past that kind of time.

Wow, that's strange.  I haven't had it crash for me yet on my site.  Do you know which one caused it?  I'll get rid of the thing.  Most at this point are static.  I just switched up everything.
