To keep using Windows, back up your files, and then install any edition of Windows 7 Ultimate.

I still haven't upgraded yet, even though I can for free.

Those of you who are wondering why you're receiving this message (I know evan isn't). You should not have downloaded and installed Windows 7 RC without knowing that it expired. MS sent you guys at least one e-mail telling you that in March, it would have bi-hourly shut downs.

wonky shit occurring - windows going to fuck. I can't even open .pdfs right now.

Wouldn't piss me off at all except for the fact I ordered my disk 3 weeks ago and got the email from Microsoft that it shipped day before yesterday.

3/1/2010 7:17:41 PM

I *THINK* I've got mine cracked. It's still running. It was supposed to shut down by now, right?
