Unit Testing, Agile Development, Leadership & .NET - By Roy Osherove
Just use one of your Windows Server 2003 keys on the VPC OS and I think it'll keep working.
LOL at the t-shirt. Been taking some heat on Channel 9 for whingeing about this happening yet again and was beggining to think maybe it was just me being "unreasonable" at being annoyed that Microsoft have yet again shot themselves in the foot. I need to get me one of those t-shirts.
y don't you pull the clock back?
Justin: and how do I do that? (Assuming I have a key - where do I enter it?)
To change your key, follow the instructions on either of these pages:

That's not a Monday detail Michael!! (Sorry for the Office Space reference) That really is a crappy situation to be in though.
There's a post here that details the process for applying a Windows 2003 license key to stop the expiry - time-consuming and not exactly a "quick hit" though :(
