Windows Genuine Advantage is an anti-piracy tool loathed by many, tolerated by some, and even appreciated by others.

I had automatic update advise installing it yesterday.
My laptop, the machine that loaded the message, has a genuine install [of course] that came with the machine. It's my school machine though and I just don't trust microsoft.
hmmm, I think I have part of a volume copy, so I don't know what it would say mine was.
Who knows.
if so I might just be a pirate.
Good info, I don't have a sword so I don't think I'm a pirate but I won't install the WGA Notifications 1.7 KB905474 update.
