  It lasts until August 1st. After that, you’d need to go back to your old operating system. If you don’t do the “upgrade” (ie do a dual-boot), your Vista should remain intact. If you do upgrade, you’ll have to reinstall Vista from scratch after the trial is over.

  It will last until August 1, 2009 if you have product key. If not 30 days.

  Back up Vista, you won’t get it back. After August, you’ll need to reinstall Vista.

  It last until August I believe. Also as long as you install Windows 7 a separate partition, nothing will happen to your installation of Vista. But before doing so, always make sure to back-up your information!

  DO NOT overwrite Vista as you will not be able to roll back. Windows 7 is awesome and I have been using it since Build 6801 thru 6956 and now 7000 Beta 1 which I am working with at the moment.

  I know its tempting but I suggest installing it on a spare Hard Drive if you have one lying around. As long as the Drive is no less than 40gb then you will be able to enjoy Windows like it has never been before.

  Also bear in mind Windows 7 Beta 1 comes with an initial 30day trial period, however you can rearm to extend the trial period

  LUG.
