5803 will run one year or 6 months ?

Hi all Vista-Folks ,

I am running Windows 6.0 Build 5308.winmain_idx01.060223-2145
( official, activated and genuine and legal ? YES ! )

The Eula as also stated in MS Connect Legal Threads says :

" The software will stop running on 30/09/2006 "

but now my winver.exe quotes me :

"Evaluation Copy.expires 0.8.03.2007" .. that would be exactly one year
from now on.

So what is right ?

Usually Microsofts OS-Evaluation and Betas did run in the Past exactly 180
Days and Eula and Winver Date matched the same date. So now I am a bit
confused.

Someone knows or is it lottery-play ?

I know for sure not to do important things with a BEta-Product, but I would
like to know exactly when the last good moment will be to back up all my
stuff - I do use various OS, including Linux on one Computer, some for joy
or testing. Some for work, so it comes to times when I have files that are
acessed in my other OS too and I really cannot keep all the time an eye
where I have what stored - and Vista will not even let you log in when the
time is up,so..

From MS Officials or Beta NGs nobody seems to know.
One Guy mentioned it could be just a mistake-driven date given to set when
the Build was compiled.
Hm ?

Regards

Sascha

The EULA is what we agree to.
In any event, the next build, probably three or four more will be out making
this build completely obsolete by September of this year..

Hmm... I installed Vista 5308 on the day of getting it, and mine says
"Expires on 3rd July 2007"... when in previous builds, it only stuck for a
few months. Obviously a bug, but it's not really that major is it? It's not
going to be in the final build, so I'm not too fussed with it! I'll try and
get a screenshot in a bit.

128MB Video card on that machine, only 256MB RAM (I have another 256MB RAM
in another slot, but I think my motherboard is kinda broken...).

Glass should run with 128MB RAM, I think it's only the video card that's
important. I've got an AMD Dual Core in the next room which seems to perform
just the same in terms of RAM, but could well be because of the performance
issues etc.

Zack;
Is that an exact quote?
Or does it actually say "07/03/2007"
That could also be read as 7 March 2007.
If so could that be exactly a year after you installed?

Zack,

Where did you find the About window you are showing? Maybe I have missed
something, but I cannot find that view.

Also is there a way to tell if Aero Glass is turned on or not?

Thanks,
Norm

If your window borders have transparency, Aero Glass is on. If your windows
are not transparent and look almost like XP Media Center Edition only grey
or if you're running the classic view, Aero Glass is off.
