I read that Windows Vista Beta 2 will expire in June or July 2007. I planned to upgrade to it and not keeping my current operating system.
So what happens when it expires? what will be disabled? should i partitioin my hard drive to have both Vista Beta 2 and my current Operating System?

Ok emm am not really sure but my friend was telling me that you will have to buy it or if your lucky they might give you an other "test drive" but i would seek advice from Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) them selfs if no one can help you on this.

Yes, Windows Vista Beta 2 will expire in July but the product actually comes out in January (November for businesses). that gives you a half a year to keep it as a current OS. It is better to keep a Beta operating system on a partition and Dual boot XP (or current OS) and Vista.i installed Vista Beta 2 on a 40 Gig hard drive (D:) and have XP on my 164 Gig (C:).

I think that information is on the Microsoft website.
