To date, users have had to deal with Microsoft’s WGA and Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) anti-piracy mechanisms when attempting to download new bits from Microsoft’s various download servers. But as of Vista – and Office 2007, according to Bott – Microsoft will be baking WGA and OGA into the new software releases themselves.
If WGA and OGA worked correctly most of the time, that fact wouldn’t be so worrisome to Bott and others who’ve been accused falsely of running bogus copies of Windows and Office. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
