XP sp2 Eval?
did you notice i said i have a legit xp pro?
im looking for a eval sp2 order form for some demostration pcs. "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ... They may be available in some Microsoft Press books, I am not sure if they have updated to SP-2.

Search the sources you used before.
Check the Microsoft Press books to see if those evaluation versions now include SP-2.

If you call MS or read the EULA on the CD, you'll see that
it time limited, after all, it is distributed for the purpose of evaluation prior to purchase. Now that XP is a well marketed retail product, the RTM version is soon to be dropped from support, and the OEM and large corps have finished their evaluations, the only eval versions would be the long awaited Longhorn. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

An eval version is legit for a limited time and purpose..
You can find your EULA for the installed eval version by opening Windows Explorer/Help and clicking on the About Windows link. On that page you'll see a link to YOUR EULA. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

If I was a computer techie I might be earning a living. I
don't work for MS and although I support Bill Gates as a businessman, I wish he supported the rights of the American and other citizens around the world who have a right to keep and bear arms. Mr. gates has spent his money to harm my rights. But as an old geek, pilot, NRA member and American citizen I choose to follow the law, rules and ethics as much as possible. BTW, things only come out of my ass and you and I really don't want to have any interaction with that. BTW, where were you during the rest of this thread? -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

Why, because you were not told that it is OK to use a 120
day eval forever, for any use and you are unhappy because your old eval copy doesn't entitle you to updates. You can subscribe to the program and get eval copies. But you want "free" and absolution for your sins.

that should have a simple answer. if you do not have a answer then you need not reply. im trying to setup demo system for ppl to try out xp without them stealing the keys ive had a few systems that had the keys stolen since there was not activated. but you would rather believe im doing something wrong so you keep up the insane posts "Jim Macklin" wrote in message ...

You are doing something wrong, either re-subscribe to the
TechNet service, contact MS corporate hq and arrange a license as an OEM, or buy retail or OEM media. Read the EULA on the media you now have. You asked a question and didn't like the answer, so you asked again. And again. And you began the rudeness when the answers you got did not make you happy.
