Re: SP 2 Beta question

Actually Tom your reply wasn't available when i posted. However, I am aware of Kelly's 'remedy'. My reply to andy stipulated that the inscription couldn't be removed based on a reply I received from Microsoft which stated that editing the registry would not remove the evaluation notice. This was in reply to a post I made when Vista SP1 came out and I suggested editing the registry (obviously Kelly has put the registry tweak into a script). I suppose Microsoft didn't want people using a registry hack to remove the evaluation so, I assume, as i had suggested it for Vista SP1, a Microsoft employee decided to say it wouldn't work.

At least Andy has sorted the problem now. This is something that comes up with every beta; fortunately it doesn't bother me that the evaluation is there, but some people it does.
