In general, beta products expire at the earlier event of either 180 days or the release of the final version of the product.

Although it doesn't say, I believe it's 180 days, which is thereabouts 6 months.

here's a simple answer to the question
press the windows key +r type in WinVer and press enter a window will pop up telling you what version of Vista you have build number and the date the software will expire.
easy!
