From Microsoft

The Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1, 2009 and the RC will expire on June 1, 2010. To avoid interruption, you'll need to rebuild your test machine using a valid version of Windows before the software expires. Windows will notify you that the expiration process is beginning, and two weeks later your PC will begin shutting down every two hours.

Is it ill advised to think about using the Windows 7 RC for a first builder?

Absolutely as it's the best MS have ever produced! - Why start with a lesser product

Just steal it once it's released.
We all know that software pirates are just so cool - so you too can join those cool ranks!

Indeed, heaven forbid we pay for the operating system on our PC and reward the hard work of the people who made it!
