expiry

I'm just wondering when does Vista Beta 2 expire, and is there any licence or anything that would allow you to keep it permanently?
Also, I currently have XP Media Center Edition installed, how exactly can I keep this on my computer while installed Vista as well? I do have a 160gb hard drive, but I've no idea how to partition it or anything like that - also are partitions permanent - can you get rid of the partition after you put it there?
Thanks.

You may not be able to upgrade your installation of Windows Vista Beta 2 (or RC1) to the final, commercially available edition of Windows Vista. To upgrade you will need to acquire the final edition of Windows Vista and you may have to do a clean installation. Time-limited software.
Windows Vista Beta 2 (and RC1) is time-limited, pre-release software that will expire on June 1, 2007. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
