I have no problem with MS wanting to deny services, upgrades and
whatnot to users of illegal copies of Windows. The latest "critical"
update, however is going one too far.
It ain't critical, and it confers no advantage to me to have it running
on my machine, I didn't mind to validate my copy of Windows for
downloading updates and I didn't mind to validate my copy again when I
wanted to download some MS tools/utilities.
But to have a piece of software continuously running on *my* machine
for no reason at all, just totally goes one step too far.
So there goes the usability of the "critical" updates. I'm not
downloading that and I won't be able to differentiate between a genuine
notification of a critical update and the bogus notification of the WGA
update. Makes a mockery of the Windows Critical update process. I'm
pretty sure MS couldn't point to *one* single reason that piece of
software is "critical* to me.
Just when I've started to think that perhaps the Borg isn't so bad,
they again try and assimilate my property to perform to their
requirements.
Screw you Microsoft! You've lost a good number of brownie points with
this stupid trick!
