  Windows Genuine Advantage is still genuinely bad
Time: 14:48 EST/19:48 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft's system for validating Windows before users can download most updates continues to be a problem for legitimate customers and for Internet security as a whole.

Despite claims of offering better security, Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) serves only Microsoft's marketing interests — but you can eliminate the need for WGA if you know the trick.

Microsoft has long been considered a marketing bully, but with WGA the company has taken its lack of consideration for its customers to a new low.
