Windows Genuine Advantage by fireant 2005-05-16 06:45:03
Excerpts from a betanews.com interview with the 'Director of Genuine Windows' at Microsoft. BetaNews: Why is WGA needed, is Windows Product Activation not successful? David Lazar: That's a great question Dave. So there are a couple of reasons that WGA is helpful. Number 1 is kind of the reminder thing. Sometimes you take things for granted and forget the value of the good things that you have in your life, so Microsoft comes back with a reminder to check and see if you are running genuine software . And then you receive benefits to thank you for continuing to run genuine Windows. You activate once and you are done with it, so this is kind of a lifecycle reminder. ................ They would never have the opportunity to know about genuine Windows and take advantage of the benefits of genuine Windows."

??The good things in life?? ??the benefits of genuine Windows?? - maybe I will sleep easier at night if I have the real thing !
