I installed the Vista SP1 a few weeks ago now, but there is that 'Evaluation Copy' text in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen. After doing some searching, I believe that this text is supposed to go away at some point - but when?

it's SP1 RC1 when the final release comes out you will need to uninstall the RC1 and reinstall the final release, then it will be gone like the wind  | |

I was just looking that up, nobody's talking about it, Microsoft will send me an email when it comes out, they said the first quarter of 2008, so it should be soon,
I installed RC1 two months ago and I have not gotten any updates at all, so they must not be releasing anything in tell the final comes out, | |

Yes, as noted by today's news post, there is a RC1 "refresh" release. YMMV.

Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh is time-limited software.
Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh will no longer operate after June 30, 2008 and should be uninstalled prior to that date. After installation your desktop will show the text “Evaluation Copy”. This does not mean that your system is no longer genuine but that you have installed a test version of software which is time-limited. The “Evaluation Copy” text will appear on your desktop after the second reboot after installing the service pack. Likewise, the “Evaluation Copy” text will remain on your desktop during the first reboot after uninstall the service pack, but will disappear after the next reboot.

Why are you rolling your eyes? This is a release candidate not a final version. This shouldn't be installed onto production computers, only computers that you really don't care about.
Now if the final version had this, they it would be something to roll your eyes about. | |
