They will either buy the full version or change OS. Remember, its microsoft. They dont care. And yes, people will be pissed off with it. But i will warn before the shutdowns.

Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. " Why do they have to shut down your PC every 2 hours? People that don't read the fine print will be pissed come March. The only thing I don’t like is this:
