If you’re still running Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) you should know that as of July 1, 2009 (*) June 1, 2009 your computer will behave strange :-) (your pc will shutdown every two hours!) and on August 1, 2009 Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) will expire and you won’t be able to use it anymore!

Please upgrade (or reinstall) your computer with the Release Candidate of Windows 7.

Upgrade tip : You can easily use the Windows Easy Transfer tool to move all your user settings to the Release Candidate build! To start the Windows Easy Transfer tool just type Windows Easy Transfer after you clicked the Start button.

You can easily backup your files/settings to a USB disk and move them back after you installed the Release Candidate.

    I don’t know were else to put this. I have been Obsessed with Computers since I was 3 Thanks to Aspergers Syndrome, and since I was 11 all I ever wanted to do was be a Hardware Engineer. I am currently Studying Maths again as I currently couldn’t get an E in GCSE Maths. I already Know Im going to need As Level Maths and probably a Degree in Maths, but what Qualifications Will I need to be a Hardware Engineer.
    Will Microsoft be able to offer any support with University funding or placement. As for work I never wanted a job with anything other computers or any other place then Microsoft.

    I will do anything that is necessary, from building a cluster server to writing a 100,000 word thesis on the subject if it will help get me In.
