    I used this...and IT WORKS...

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/05/remove-windows-7-watermark-for-testing-purposes-only-evaluation-copy-test-mode-on-desktop/

    Just have to make sure you right click on the application after you download it (the public beta is build 7000 - download that one), click on Properties at the bottom on the context menu, and under the Compatibility tab check 'Run as Administrator', close that and then right click again, and up the top of the Context Menu click 'Run As Administrator'...

    Works like a charm, just used that exact application in that manner about 4 hours ago (installed Windows 7 onto my TT.....)
