Vista SP1 turned my Geniune Vista into Evaluation Copy!

I installed Vista SP1 provided in Digit DVD of this month. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium edition which had come bundled with my HP Pavilion Laptop (it is a full copy)

After installation of SP1, my desktop is showing "Windows Vista(TM) Evaluation Copy. Build 6001."

Why did this happen and how can I change my evaluation copy back to normal??

^^ It was not RTM version. It was RC. Beta and RC versions contain time-bomb. Just uninstall it from "Programs & Features -> View Installed Updates" and then download the new RTM version from Microsoft site and install it.

^^thnx a lot.. trying it out..

I have got a strange problem,
slmgr.vbs -dlv shows my initial grace period is of 13 days, however the end Evaluation Date is shown 5 yrs. ahead... what does it mean, will it expire in 13 days or after 5 yrs.....
