Do those options make Windows XP legitimate?
If the option only stops the message, that does no more to make
Windows legitimate than changing the locks on a home and say it is
yours since you now have easy access.
LOL! Failing WGA doesn't make the Windows illegit. I've seen legit
Windows fail WGA, and I've seen pirated Windows pass WGA. WGA means
absolutely nothing when it comes to determining the legitimacy of
Windows.
