Re: Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Update: False Positives

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The point is, that if there are problems, such as not being validated
until you have logged into Windows once as a system administrator, then
people may want to delay rolling this update out until the problem is
resolved.

For example, do you know for sure that this will not happen across a
large group of computers within an organisation?

For the average user, this update is being rolled out with automatic
updates, and to make it even more painful, it (or an update bundled in
the same download) is forcing a timed reboot on the user after it has
downloaded.

Now, if you are on the phone when that happens and you have a large
amount of work open on your desktop, where is your work today?
