Default Windows 7 Beta Sill Working?

How long does windows beta last before you are forced to upgrade to a real version?

I installed windows 7 Beta on my brothers computer and while I have since installed the real version he hasn't.

I was trying to see how much longer it would last on his computer so I searched google this forum. I keep seing August, 2009 but his is still working, so what is up? Was it extended? What's the deal?

Thanks guys.
