Thank you for the update. Communication is important for a better understanding of issues the WGA Team is faced with as well as the changes being implemented to solve those issues.

Happy Thanksgiving.

A hopeful conclusion will be that WGA and the rest of the activation tools get abandoned. They serve no purpose other than to annoy the paying user. It's real purpose of stopping counterfeit Windows registrations is a failure.

Anybody with half a brain can crack Windows XP or Vista despite WGA so do you assume alexkoc that Microsoft's newer WGA incarnations will actually stop crackers, my guess is that it won't and is doomed to fail and will never work. I know that this is your job and I'm sorry to be heavyhanded about your career but unfortuantely, the WGA sector of Microsoft is a lost cause and will never be successful and is probably Microsoft single biggest failure as this is one of the few released Microsoft products that doesn't work, will not work and will never work. Microsoft could do other more important things with this wasted revenue.

the way i see it is if i have to take my time in calling microsoft i should be able to charge them a fee lets say 50.00 each call due to them wasteing my time because they think that my copy of the os is pirated each and everytime that i would have to verify my copy of the os.

after 90 days of free phone support they charge a fee. so what stops the end user of chargeing a fee to microsoft for the unnecessary wpa/wga Phone calls to verify that the copy is Legal.

I respect WGA and dont mind it as a legal user. Can your team produce WGA files which cannot be replaced with patched ones or ones that cannot be patched....what if the WGA files are protected using encryption or something. I get jealous when my friend simply uses an illegal patch to bypass WGA.
