For my latest critical updates, Microsoft is now again insisting on
installing Windows Genuine Advantage before permitting updates. My
Windows is genuine but I thought "WGA" had been criticized because it
"phoned home" to MS - not just during the update but on other regular
intervals and was considered "spyware". I therefore thought MS stopped
the practice but on this latest update, I was again asked to install WGA
first. I refused because of its spyware reputation.
What's the latest story on this and why am I suddenly asked to install
this after all this time of using Windows XP?
