The current RC build just released officially yesterday to all potential users is not a subststitute for the full release and provided explicitly as a product preview, this is not something you would absolutely rely on, as good as it currently is. However such as that is, it is very promising in operation. Activated versinos last through June 2010 by whichi time the full release will certainly be out. Regards.

From March 2010 till the expiry date you're limited to a 2 hour session before it shuts down. It will be much more reliable and stable compared to Vista. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Dryden" <steve.dryden@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 8:33 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: A couple of questions on windows 7 > Hi Chris, nice one thanks.
