No it's more likely associated with the Software Protection Service.

You guys know you don't have to totally reinstall. There is this trick -
http://maketecheasier.com/upgrade-wi...isk/2009/05/08
(make sure you disable any AV program whilst doing this)
However, if you want to be in line with true beta testing don't do it as M$ want to know what real users will experience (ie. from vista or from fresh)

I would laugh so hard if that happened. I wished I didn't remove the beta now. If that worked I would have been laughing so hard at MS.
