We can remove the watermark using the registry too na?
I remember there is such a way, dont remember the exact key right now...

^^ The build number (watermark) can be enabled/disabled using registry in RTM versions. Beta and RC versions have this watermark hardcoded in DLL file which can't be removed using Registry.
