Curious only, Is anyone else still using Vista beta and it's still running, Mine is, and it was supposed to quit on May 31st at midnight?.

You can technically extend the trial period up to 360 days. However, without being in front of the system it is hard to tell you why your system is not yet in "reduced functionality" mode.
Hopefully, your bringing this up doesn't jinx your trial installation ;-)

Hi Sabertooth, Thanks for the reply, I don't think it will, and if it does it's not a big deal, I get a pop up every once in awhile that i have 0 days left and it will stop immediately so back up all your data but it's still chugging along fine and doing updates. At any rate I'll continue to use it for testing until it quits.

You can use it for periods of 2 hours then it will switch off. Just reboot for another 2 hours.
At the end of August you will lose it completely.
