Kurt,
We all knew that it was coming. The question was, when?
I just found this...
Description of the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation check in the
Microsoft Windows Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;898588
It says...
[[Note Windows Update version 5 and Automatic Updates are not affected by a
WGA validation check.]]
I don't really understand that statement, I use Windows Update version 6.
Better hurry...
