I had to post this here. Seems that MS's all mighty WGA isn't as big as it's cracked up to be.
Another WGA failure

I just experienced a Windows Genuine Advantage failure. Only it’s not a false positive, like the [URL="http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=1370"]horror stories I’ve been hearing (javascript:location.href='http://digg.com/submit?phase=2%26url='+encodeURIComponent(location .href)+'%26title='+encodeURIComponent(document.tit le)+'%26bodytext=A%20ZDNet.com%20Blog%26topic=tech _news') for nearly two months now. No, this one was a false negative. The whole story says a lot about how Microsoft is approaching the WGA issue.

Of course, I had to post my $.08 too ($.02 raised for inflaition :)
