I have some 60 day trial medical software that costs a pretty penny. By using the "clear storage" function, the WM6 registry etc should be returned to factory fresh state, right?

I'll use a virtual machine to install the software to my Wing. That should work right?

yes, in theory, it should work.
However, it's like killing babies. Don't do it.
Support the developers, they really need it.
And i'm being nice.

LOL, its not big deal, commen sense really. I think he already knew it was possible...i guess he(maybe she but I doubt it) was just looking for a little conformation

i guess he(maybe she but I doubt it)

haha! how true it is :)

The software in question is at www.epocrates.com

If you want to make yourself feel a little better about helping me to not support this developer (which I DO appreciate, even though I was 99% sure it would work anyway)

1. this program costs $199 per year

2. Over half a million health care professionals use their products (they aren't a struggling, almost-certain-to-fail startup)

3. as a 3rd year medical student, I'm just under $200,000 in debt and before I graduate you can tack another $60k or more onto that

4. I may someday be caring for the medical needs of you or someone in your Monkeysphere (http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=2417) :D

Thanks again, xda rulez!

We will remind you of this when you have had a few years of practice under your belt and we don't pay YOUR bill. I mean after all, after a few years and many hundreds of patients, you won't be a struggling start up operation either. :D
