Hi there,

	Another nice bit of research:

	We should bin Desktop::CheckOEM() in all call-sites, assuming it always
returns true I think. The CheckInstallation code seems to just warn that
the evaluation product has expired - which seems fairly poisonous - lets
bin that too :-) [git remove checkinstall.cxx too I guess ].

	It looks like this is all some nastiness to work out if an expired
product is being used at lots of entry points, and if so to break
things. So - we should remove checkOEM there too, also returning true
unconditionally.

	Yes - sounds lovely :-) I think we can bin all of
desktop/source/so_comp/*

	Thanks !
