So, my organization has been using visual studio 2005 for a few months and I
wanted to try out the additional profiling and other tools available with the
team suite version.

I saw they had a 180 day trial, so I thought, great I can try them out and
see if I want to purchase it.

I orderd the DVD, it came, went to install.  Did the default install, at the
time I thought it was odd it didn't mention anything about having
professional currently insalled.

Finished, then ran the app, well how bout that it overwrote all my current
settings for visual studio,  very annoying but okay I can live with that.  
Then I get a dialog up that I have exceeded my 180 days, and it immediately
closes.

So this handy trial version, over wrote my professional version, took the
install date from that, and now refuses to even run?

Might not it be a good idea to warn users of this? I have gone from being
excited to try a new product, to thinking.  So now I'm forced to uninstall
this thing, reinstall my version of 2005 and wash my hands of it.  Or perhaps
try and get someone on tech support to fix this...

It seems like a pretty likely scenario to be curious about upgrading from an
existing 2005 version.

On the bright side the Mac developers sitting acrros the aisle from me had a
good laugh :D.
