For the Beta version, how does it work when a full version is released? Is there a set time you are allowed to use and will get forced to upgrade?
According to the FAQ:

Upgrade to Win7 beta from XP = No
Set time allowed to use it = Yes. It expires on August 1, 2009.
What happens then =
To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. You won't be able to upgrade from the Beta to the final retail version of Windows 7.
