well it's gone the 1st june and apart from a few 'your software is not genuine' popups it still seems to work, doing a bit of CAD n browsing.

Anyone else still on tha beta?

well, as far as I know, microsoft offered the genuine advantage notification thingy (Windows Activation Technology or WAT) as an optional update for windows 7, though it's just listed as an update.

If your version is showing the not genuine notice, then you can download a WAT removal tool that basically removed the activation requirement.

Google removeWAT, should work fine.
