so many lazy ppl :P ..... do a clean install ppl... just backup your users and files... reinstall programs, big deal, lol.

I know and I agree, but it's all the modifications such as the reintro of Windows Mail, Sidebar, Tinker etc. that also get chucked out of the window when one does a clean installation. Such a p.i.t.a. to have to do them, or most of them, all over again.

Addendum: I'm using Windows Easy Transfer to backup all the stuff to an external drive.....at the rate it's proceeding Windows 12 RTM will already have been released.
(sigh)

what is a program timenuker(does this program removes the expiration date)??

July 2010 ish, and no, no timenuke removes the expiration date, only makes Windows think there is no expiration date.

Last time I used Timenuker it made my installation an illegal copy in the eyes of Microsoft and it refused to update it.

Never again will I use it.

Just a word of warning.

I've been scanning MSFT & Technet...nothing yet, but they haven't woken up yet on the left coast.
