Umm... I wanted to get _rid_ of it.. Out of curiousity on the fourth one, I
did that little tinkering to push it past the expiration date, and lo and
behold it still happened. Bloody stupid bug for something that by design
you're meant to be able to get rid of.

MS policy: make it impossible to remove the software, and they'll keep
running it... :)
