Just got the below email from Microsoft regarding their Beta tests of Windows 7
Exploring Windows: Special Beta Edition — Correction
Because you signed up to test the Windows 7 Beta, we recently sent you mail about the expiration dates for the Beta and Release Candidate. Unfortunately, we made a mistake.
We said the Beta would start shutting down every two hours on June 1, 2009. The correct date is July 1, 2009.
The rest of the dates in the mail were correct. Here’s a quick summary:

We apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused.
Thanks again for helping us test Windows 7.

As some of your are probably aware, Microsoft are letting people try the new Windows 7 for free
If you sign up now over at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7 , they will allow you to download the latest RC (Release Candidate), and this licence will then last until March 1st 2010 !
