Re: [Off Topic] Windows Genuine Advantage



There's been a flood or WEB articles on MS' Windows Genuine Advantage (XP) patches.
After a brief perusal (stressing "brief") it looks to me like this software
checks fortnightly to see that you don't have a pirated version of Windows.
And that using it is a precondition of getting updates to the OS. What's
threatening about that? Seems perfectly reasonable. Is the problem that it
may not be limited to doing that?
