In my opinion, no it is not, the Beta expires on August 2009, the RC expires on July, 2010, however, if you plan to purchase Windows 7, I highly recommend upgrade as Windows 7 has passed several benchmarks showing that it is faster and performs better than it's predecessors.

Why Microsoft developed the Windows 7?

Microsoft needed help from launching Vista, which was a downer. Vista was the beginning of a major downfall for the Microsoft Corporation. When introduced to the public, at first, Vista seemed like an interesting operating system however it was not friendly with the corporate business world and forced buyers and users to remove Windows Vista and install Windows XP. Windows Vista was slow and full of bugs. It didn't take long for Microsoft to have realized Vista failed them and didn't even compare to the sales of Windows XP. It was time to do something and thats when someone smart in Microsoft came up with the idea for Seven and when the Beta came out... I loved my Laptop. Getting rid of Vista was one of the best things i have ever done and the Beta worked fantastic for me (with all the drivers). Now windows seven is dominating the computer market and slowly but surely, it shall replace Windows XP all together especially because XP will no longer be supported past 2014. They made Windows 7 to replace XP because Vista was a huge failure.
