Don't have Vista on any of our computers, and not likely to have any time soon. (still have 100's of boxes running W98!)
Even on our servers, we'll probably be on W2K3 for the foreseeable future. We just got rid of our last NT4 server earlier this year.
Maybe there is a property that you can check on the oX object that tells you it's a trial version or not. Never had to deal with anything like that.
