Evaluation Copy???

R

Rodney LeBlanc

I currently own a legal copy of Vista Ultimate and realized sometimes last
week, on the bottom right corner, stating my copy is an Evaluation Copy.
Build 6001.

When I look at my system properties, it does show my product key and that my
copy of Windows has been activated.

Has anyone else notice this? I am wondering if this appeared after I
installed Vista SP1.

Thanks!

Yes it is because of SP1. That is what you are evaluating. Vista non SP1 is
Build 6000. Remember SP1 is still a beta (Release Candidate).

Windows Vista SP1 is currently in development which is why it has a
time-bomb on it, and why it shows the copy as an evaluation.

Vista SP1 is still in beta form, so you will get the evaluation copy logo at
the bottom of the screen. If you uninstall SP1 or install the final when it
is released, that watermark will be removed. Also, do be aware that the SP1
you installed is time limited (To June 30th, I believe), so be sure to grab
the final when it is released!
