Visual Studio Trial Upgrade: 24 days later

I wanted to wait a month before checking back on this issue but recent post by ScottGu (more on this later in this post) changed my plans. Thanks to DotNetKicks, Dzone and, obviously, Google that post was viewed more than 1100 times directly. I'm pretty confident that someone from Microsoft directly responsible for these things or at least someone who knows someone who is in some way related to this has seen it.
