Help me,

i've been caught out by the latest Windows Genuine Advantage update because, apparently , I'm genuinely disadvantaged

This now means I have a pop up everytime I start up/shut down and a thing in my system tray, and god knows what else spying on me....which I can't get rid of without somebody who knows a lot more about getting around it and its registry change than I do.

Other than buying a legitimate version, does anyone know of a *recent* hack that evades this nonsense?
 
Now, did they tell you how to get rid of it or just how to hide it from yourself?

I've got one word for you: Linux. :D

Oh crap, one could never do that? Act correctly & civilly & follow the law? Oh no, not....
 
But some people have complained of glitches with the WGA tool that means they are being told erroneously they are using a counterfeit copy of XP.

many of the problems stemmed from XP being installed incorrectly or if a machine had been sent for a repair and a new version of XP was installed with a generic key code.

I'd bet 99% of the "legit" copies of XP are stolen, counterfeit & repackaged. Do these folks think that software is the only thing that can be reproduced? Those who legitimately purchased a machine that includes XP or just a copy of XP which is bogus can sue or are are screwed. Either way, it's a hassle.

Remember its MS ,do you really think they work out the bugs before they release software.:confused:
