| 481755 | 2006-09-02 04:22:00 | Yea I know but I only have 256mb of 133-sdram so it goes slow no matter what... I see you have a non genuine version of windows... Hmmm? What do you mean? What makes you think that I am running pirated Windows (and incidentally, I am running genuine version XP)? Cheers :) |

Well, I downloaded and installed it after I was tricked by Microsoft to believe that I will "receive exclusive updates". It turns out that WGA is just an eye-sore little icon sitting in the system tray doing nothing but sending data back to Microsoft regularly (I have had it blocked in SPF already) And at the end of the day, what "exclusive updates" are we talking about here? Cheers :) |

I only thought that icon parked itself there if WGA thought the OS wasn't legal and it gave popup messages about that. Didn't realise that the WGA update put an icon in everyone's systray -- but then again I don't run Windows so what would I know! :p |

Didn't realise that the WGA update put an icon in everyone's systray -- but then again I don't run Windows so what would I know! :p There isn't an option in Add / Remove program to uninstall that little mischievous program. It is not listed under Windows services nor startup list. Although I know that there are plenty of advice on the Internet on how to remove it using force (and illegitimate ways), I had rather tug along with Microsoft's play. Cheers :) |
