New PC

I'll get to the question(s);
The IT dept. here is adamant about not purchasing until testing with a trial or something first before making the purchase
(I take the opposite approach because I don't like uninstalling trial-ware especially when it can't just be keyed to make it a full version)

So I've looked around for a Creator2009 "Trial" but can't seem to find a legitimate one only those on some other "non-roxio/sonic" site (that's probably some "corrupted", "infected" or other wise version),
have the trial offerings been discontinued or was there ever really a true trial version other than PC OEM cripple ware distributions?


System:
Intel DG965RYMB  Core2Duo @2.4GHz
XP Pro SP3
4GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM
1x 298GB Seagate Barracuda SATA-II HDD
1x 932GB Hitachi "DeathStar" SATA-II HDD
1x 1398GB Western Digital Caviar Green SATA-II HDD
2x 932GB Western Digital Caviar Green SATA-II HDD (on e-SATA PCI-e card)
1 LiteOn IT CD/DVD RAM/DL/+-RW Multi Read/Write SATA
1 LG CD/DVD RAM/DL/+-RW Multi Read/Write E-IDE
1 LiteOn IT CD RW E-IDE
Creative EMU 0404 Professional Sound Card (On board "integrated" Disabled)
NVIDIA GEForce 7600 256MB PCIe (Currently using on-board "integrated" video)
DOS is still alive and kicking, (and screaming beneath the oppression of W9x, WME, W2K, XP, All versions of NT / Server, & even Vista)

EMC 9 was the only Trial version ever offered. Never seen again…

Anything else you find is a pirate or worse!

Buy from the Roxio Store and you have 30 day, no questions asked, return policy.

Thanks Jim;

Good Info, to push on the IT dude;
he's really got no complaint, after having spent around $4 - $5G for the PC
$99.00 for C-2009 is hardly a sticking point

Cheers
