August 20th is the last day to download the Windows 7 Release Candidate. You can still get license keys and can still install/use it, but starting March 1st, 2010, the product will shut down every two hours. It will also change your background and display “non genuine” messages starting June 1st, 2010.

The product will be for sale in October of this year, so there’s plenty of time to reinstall the Real Thing.
