Windows Vista 64bit SP2 Beta...?

Everything went perfectley smooth....


except now in the bottom right hand corner....on my desktop, it says...


Windows Vista (TM) Evaluation Copy. Build 6002



Did SP2 beta just turn my owned vista ultimate 64bit into an eval copy? lol


Anyway to remove this text?

i think it means that the service pack itself is an evaluation copy. the final version will be released in about a month and shouldnt contain the text.

Yep, that's right, SP2 is still in beta, so if you are using it, your system becomes an "evaluation copy" of Vista. If you don't want this, just uninstall it and wait for the final release of SP2.

Hope this helps,
Jorge

and as an update, i got my grubby hands on the final SP2 release, and the text is gone from the desktop. and a heads-up...you must uninstall the SP2 beta before you can install the final.
