Guys, I picked up one of these evaluation versions at a recent Microsoft Technical Sales for Technical Specialists seminar. There is no need to use the reset crack on this version. Simply edit SETUPREG.HIV to remove the 30 day time limit and it will no longer expire. It still has to be activated (or reactivated after a major hardware change) but otherwise it is as good as the full version.
The special version being offered in the above deal is a full retail packaged version. Again it still has to be activated, but for only $39.99 + shipping it is a great deal.
As for me, I am staying with the corporate version and a blue key (although I have a full retail copy sitting on my shelf gathering dust).

Yes this is a really good deal because here in canada, the price for XP pro version is about $450 cdn

I will reformat eventually, then install my *legal* copy of XP pro. :P It is a good deal if you want to get a legit cd key--not to mention an awesome baseball!!!
