Windows 7 is going to get annoying..


February 3rd, 2010

..if you are running the free trial version.

After 1st March the free trial version that many people have been running for the last few months will start to shutdown and restart every two hours in an attempt to annoy you into buying the full product.

It will do so automatically without giving you a chance to save any work you may be doing at the time.

After 1st June it will fail validation – you won’t be able to get optional updates and there will be an irritating nag on the screen reminding you that your system isn’t genuine.

You will need to buy and do a clean install of your shiny new Windows 7 OS to solve the problem.
