As detailed at http://www.segal.org/tablet/live/, the Windows Live mail program doesn't work well on small screens. The folks at Microsoft now know about this issue, and hopefully there will be a solution by the time the final version of Windows 7 comes out, but for now this remains a problem for computers with small screens.

But yes, it expires sometime in July 2009. Which means there will either be a Beta 2 or Release Candidate 1 with a slightly longer expiration, OR we'll really see the final version by summer.

Hmm. Could be risky to use on a production machine. Does the beta software expire at some point? Hmm. Could be risky to use on a production machine.
