The copy of vista that i got free from the event, is it the one year trial like server 08 and visual 08?

Or is it a full non-trial version?

The microsoft rep told me that at least with the Server 2008 that it is a 1 year license... but there is not time bomb of any sort. It is supposed to be only put in a test environment but he assured everyone that they could run it without issues. I would think it is the same for the Vista copy.

Anyway forget Vista and use your copy of server 2008. LOL, I tried to sell mine on Ebay but got flagged.

I've never known MS to give out time limited copies of desktop versions of Windows. It's going to be a full copy, and likely a retail-level copy at that.
