Will MSAS final version be a Windows Genuine Advantage
Downloads?

Hi

Probably as all MS downloads in future. The problem is when
we have to many unpatched, unprotected PCs and that
"the underground" will make their own preparated "MS patches"
available
with total chaos..........

For sure this is going to take some time and I believe this is
dreams with no reality in long terms.

Yes, I believe it will be, Microsoft was testing the waters last year and I
read an interview on BetaNews.com that they plan to implement it full force
across their product lines. If you have genuine Windows XP though, you
shouldn't have anything to worry about. The question is though, obviously
Microsoft plans on making this available to Windows 2000 users, so how will
they identify the illegal copies since 2000 unlike XP does not utilize or
work hand in hand with WGA?

There is a lot to be answered, but I believe this won't be realized until
closer to release time.
