RC's = Release Candidates...
In the command prompt, type winver. If there is no expiration date listed you have the final release code.

Ok cool, It doesn't say an expiration date, if anyone has the beta, can you goto command prompt and type WINVER and take a screenshot of it?

But when I type winver in the run command it doesnt say and experation day, like Jerry said there would be if you had a trial.
And I had to enter a CD-Key when I first installed it.
