It seems that this act brought Microsoft nothing but its (illegal) users’ anger. I think that if someone intended to buy a legal copy of Microsoft product - s/he would have backed off very quickly after their "not clever" (I am trying to be polite and missed the word stupid) act.

A friend of mine experienced the Windows Genuine Advantage problem and 5 minutes after that he had a solution to it that he downloaded from internet.

Windows piracy IS bad and though I don’t feel very good paying for a product that others use for free, I do believe that WGA is certainly not the way.
