Windows 7 (Build 6801) 'Windows is Activated' with no expiration date. I am puzzled

When I click on Computer Properties it is just showing ' Windows is Activated' as it would with Vista. There is no mention of expiration. Is this good news or will (Build 6801) still stop working next year.

 

@ Gyrxiur

Many Thanks for the suggestion, but when I go into slmgr I cannot make head nor tail of it.
This is the read out I am getting ANY CLUES PLEASE ???

Evaluation End Date 8/2/2009
