No?! Really?! LOL!
"Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) or Validation has kinda been hacked,
but the hack only works at the Microsoft Download Center, but won't help
ya' at Windows Update, or in downloading the WGA free offers." - from

Unless you get the url to the file! But You guys really got to stop the
totally false claim that WGA speeds up downloading! I was testing it

is not validating.
But only goes to prove that your company finds it easier to distort
reality than tell the truth!
