No Problems with RC1!!!

[Guest]

Downloaded RC1 yesterday, got PC-cillin updating(for the first time I might
add!!) Everything running so far,well that is apart from I can't get any
connections with the Xbox 360 (which funnily enough I have managed before!!)
So I am abandoning any set up of XBox 360 for now, as I don't want to upset
other stuff. Love it! Also I chose the Home premium edition, which I know is
not the same as we all tried in June (ultimate) and didn't get asked for a
key when registering ?????So how long can I expect it to last??

When you install RC1 without a Key and choose other Vista-Editions
(HomeBasic,HomePremium,Starter,N,Business..) to install, they will run
14 days until you need to purchase a Key for them / activate your Key.

As no Keys for other than Ultimate are available at this time, you will have
to reformat your disk.

This feature is only for evaluating Vista / kind of Trial Version and I
expect it also to be active in the RTM, therefore Microsoft don't need to
offer special Trial Versions for Vista at a later time.

14 days are more than enough to see if the OS will run on your PC.
