WGAN remains an Optional update, Michael.

It's only optional if they allow you to decline it, and it looks like
they're not doing that everywhere, or at least they haven't always been
doing it everywhere.

It's only optional if you don't want IE7, Defender or WMP11.

That's not true and you know that. Please stop posting your FUD!

For downloading IE7, Defender, WMP11 and the other updates which
require a Windows Genuine verfication it's absolutly enough to
install the Windows Genuine Advantage *Verification Tool* aka KB892130.

The Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (aka KB905474) is *not*
required to be installed. Nor for the WGA check, either in any other
means. It has ever been and still is an optional update - although MS
decided to push KB905474 as an important update via the update channels
(WU/MU/AU).
