This is the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1023837 I don't believe that this is illegal. The software is allowed to be used over a previous install. The beta was leaked to the public on purpose. I only intended to use it as the 30-day trial. I think that any computer geek would be interested in trying out the beta of the latest version of the most popular operating system _ever._
Finally, Kiwinz: you keep doing this. That is, imposing your views (opinions) on a thread without conversation. I've seen you several times change M$ to MS, I've seen you change RTFM to RTM, etc. Just because you're an admin doesn't mean that your opinions are any more valuable than anybody else's.
