Time: 14:18 EST/19:18 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

As promised, Microsoft Corp. has started offering Windows 7 users an update to the company's antipiracy software via Windows Update.

The update to Windows Activation Technologies (WAT), the anticounterfeit program formerly known as Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), has been slammed by critics, including the Internet advocate who blasted Microsoft in 2006 over the daily "phone home" habits of WGA running on Windows XP.
