And it will mess up other applications running on computer and can cause 
serious problmes.

But POV checks time only at start-up.

Btw, I agree now that its a *good* idea that beta expire.
But for some special-cases like (I want to compare beta2 with beta3) etc, 
how about an hidden option to start expired beta (i.e. command line option,  
windows-register, some disk .ini file, etc)?
