Andy the inscription can't be removed. As you are aware SP2 is currently in
beta and, like most beta's, the 'evaluation copy' is painted on. Once SP2 is
ready for distribution Microsoft will remove the evaluation copy text. When
Windows XP was in beta you could remove the evaluation copy text by editing
the registry; however, I believe Microsoft 'stopped' that gap so future
beta's couldn't be tampered with.
The alternative is to uninstall SP2. You can do this by clicking the Start
button and selecting Windows Updates from the menu. When the windows update
window opens take a look on the left of the window and you will see a list
of 'tasks'. Click on the 'view update history' All the updates are listed
here in their individual sections. I'm currently booted into Windows 7 so
forgive me if I'm not too precise with the wording. However, look for the
Microsoft Windows section (as i say I'm in Win 7 at the moment so the
wording of the section may not be spot on.) This section will list all the
Microsoft Windows updates. You should see an update for Vista Service Pack
2. If you click on this it will uninstall.
