All beta builds (including RC1 and RC2) will stop working on the 1st of june
2007 beta keys will work till then
RTM will be retail and beta keys will not work on it

it is also likely that you will not be able to upgrade from RC1 or RC2 to
the final version you will probably need to do a clean install

These evaluation builds are all timebombed to stop working you can find out
the exact date and time they will stop working by typing "winver" in the run
command
And it will be most likely that the beta keys will be blocked by MSFT after
the 1st of june 2007
