Windows Genuine Advantage's newest setting: "you might be a pirate"
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows Genuine Advantage is an anti-piracy tool loathed by many,
| tolerated by some, and even appreciated by others. How you feel
| about it may depend in part on whether or not you've been caught
| in its snares: the "authentic software" validation tool is known
| to have falsely identified thousands of "pirated" Vista installs.
