You "gotta", huh? Nothing wrong with WGA, never was. Never have had a problem with it either. Of course, I don't pirate, my machine is clean and up to date, and properly maintained/managed.
Spyware nonetheless and if you would use Google, you would find the false positives this program has generated, causing people to have to jump through all kinds of hoops to become "genuine" instead of using their computer.
Piracy has nothing to do with it. Note that with Vista it no longer says "My Computer" but "Computer". Can you connect the dots or are you too brainwashed by the FUD you swim in?
