    Well considering my version of 7057 doesnt expire anyway...

    and no i've not hacked it. I just used my beta keys from 7048 and activated.

    I only noticed it when i noticed the 7063 screenshots i've seen showed an expiry. Further checking shows that 7057 should expire too... Mine doesnt show an expiry.

    So far its fairly stable and works. Got a weird pausing now and then when loading links out of a game into webbrowser but thats about it.

    What improvements is this likely to have over the beta - ie is it worth doing an "upgrade/repair" install?
