Default Longhorn question

How can I remove my evaluation copy and make it become an endless OS?

You mean keep it from expiring? I think you can just reinstall it once it expires or set the date back on your computer.

There probably is, but I don't really know. Haha! "Detecting Hardware" took at least 45 minutes for me!

Something around that for me too. They fake the ten minutes so you can party in front of your computer thinking "Wow! I'm the world's biggest up-to-date man!" Well, Ya might think ther's a new copy, but that Bill Gates hands a new copy IDENTICAL to the other ones, exept it's another build

Except Bill Gates has nothing to do with Windows builds. Removing the evaulation time restriction would go under the illegal software section
