Vista - How long is the TRIAL Period.

I am planning to Format my Hard Drive and do a fresh install of my Operating
System on my Dell Laptop. Have not cleaned the computer since 4 yrs now.

Since I will be doing a fresh install of all my software and everything I
was thinking of giving MS Vista a try. However I would like to know if VISTA
RC1 is only for a certan amount of time or will it continue to work without
asking me to buy Vista when it releases.

I really do not wish to go through lot of work when I will need to revert
back to the Windows Xp Home OS which originally came with the Laptop.

June 1, 2007... Its in the ELUA (and/or the disclaimer after it) when you go
to install it... and I also think it was on the download page...
