Yeah

And why is it that even if I selected Australia it still shows US' states? Too odd imo for a MS or a MS partner site to have such mistake :/

Not sure I trust that site.

I have my security settings set fairly tight. I disabled DEP so I would stop seeing the yellow Internet Explorer Information Bar...and it seemed to work. I went to all the usual sites that the Information Bar shows up on, and the Bar does not appear on any of them now.

...However, on this particular site it did show up telling me my ActiveX Controls are set too tight for the page to be displayed properly.

I thought that was a little wierd.

I registered anyway, and this is the mail that I received from them. If somebody can tell me how to display the headers and whatnot from outlook express lemme know and I'll put it here.

I registered

Let's see what happens. I wonder, is it possible to crack it so it is a full version?

I don't really plan to install it anyway.

Well, there is a way using an infamous tool that allows you to get rid of the timebomb....However since, Neowin doesn't allow warez, and if your going to/want to crack it, your more than likely going to use it for what its not intended to be used for, I won't say how or where to get the tools for it :p .

It's a 3rd party vendor for MS that is doing the stuff. If you have ever been to a TS2 seminar or called for an action pack (not arvado) then you talk to third parties who deal directly with MS everyday. GF works for one of them here in Seattle.
