my version of anti spyware expires in 47 days. Do I have
to purchase a new version, or will it automatically
update?

Everyone has the same "problem" :)
According to Steve Dodson from Microsoft, before the expiration date there
will be available update for MSAS that will delay this timebomb and fix
some Beta 1 problems.

The question is answered multiple times daily.

Microsoft Antispyware is not freeware--that implies
something specific about licensing which would be
inaccurate.

Microsoft Antispyware will be available without additional
cost to licensed Windows customers.

Here's what Bill Gates said:

"We've looked hard at the nature of this problem, and made
a decision that this anti-spyware capability will become
something that's available at no additional charge for
Windows users -- both the blocking capability, and the
scanning and removal capabilities. Those are features we
think should be available to protect every system."

Please don't confuse the time-limited nature of the beta
product with this issue of the cost of the final version.
