Windows 7 beta/RC update

From the Springboard Series newletter:

First things first. Are you still on the Windows 7 Beta? If so, we recommend that you move to the Release Candidate (RC) and fast. Starting today, July 1, the Beta will start to reboot every two hours and will expire on August 1, 2009. Also, the RC download program will close August 15th so make sure to download the RC before then if you haven’t already. You will still be able to install your downloaded copy, and get a key if you need one, after August 15th.
