Microsoft has really gone too far, I totally agree!! In fact;even with a valid XP copy; I still totally diagree with their underhanded methods. It is up to me as to what programs I want to have installed and I didnt catch it at first,because at a glance it looked alot like the Windows Genuine Validation tool; and I figured it was just a patch. Then I come to find out that;# 1-there is no easy uninstall in add/remove(in fact if you try;it states that you cannot remove KB905474) and#2 (which is what truly offends me) it reports back to MS ;everytime I connect to the internet; it's "findings" . MS better straighten this out or Apple and open source will have alot of new customers. I'm lucky enough to have the luxury of not having to use windows; but I truly feel that MS is going to shoot themselves in the foot over this. Especially when the media catches on.
The simple fact is that you don't have to use Windows.
Um, and how does that make the WGA fiasco a good thing? How does the end user benefit from WGA?
