Why am I gettting this update since I have a legal copy and have all updates including SP3, which, supposedly, you are not supposed to be able to get if your copy is not legit? It's rather annoying.

What does it say?
either you have to activate your windows before 30 days
or they think you have a pirate copy, if the sticker of COA is on your laptop or desktop then go to the microsoft website and confirm your copy of windows then it wont appear anymore.
Microsoft updates the WGA from time to time. Go a head and install it;)
thanks, all...yes, my copy is legal; it's just one of those annoying things....like being asked the same question over & over again..and giving the same answer over & over again...:confused:
I have no problem installing the WGA...just annoying that Microsoft has to keep asking me the same question..over & over again...:mad:. You would think that their data base or whatever it's called would already have that info stored...makes you wonder what else that they don't keep track of....:p.
Might read here to see what happens if you failed the test.

Train...interesting read. I wonder how many wallpapers will now go black. I can imagine some rather upset folks who were told that their XP was legit. I bet there will soon be a bump in the number of new XP cd's being bought.
I downloaded & installed the WGA update..( ...holds breath, crosses fingers,.....wipes sweat off brow...Hurray...I'm legit! :D ...).
It would be nice, though, if Bill would come down some more on XP. I would probably pick up a couple more cd's for future use. Even though Vista is the new guy on the block, a lot of folks still use XP and a lot of folks just don't need Vista and don't want to have to buy more ram just to get online and do the basics.
Anyway....I'll get off my soapbox now...:)
Well the 3 pack will save you $20.

Works nice if you keep it all in one house hold.
$399.99....too rich for my pocketbook...and only a $20.00 discount...that's not a discount...that's an insult. " Oh, I just cannot afford $420.00 for a three pack...but $399.99....why, I'll jump all over that...what a bargain..a whole $7.00 off of a $140.00 item." :p
Heck..I was griping about $140.00...even that is a lot of moola to me.! I don't have any actual needs for any more XP o/s's...just would be nice to have a couple laying around.
Hey...how did I get back on my soapbox...??
Used a ladder maybe :D
Yea...need to carefully climb back down...put ladder away...all will be better tomorrow...:)
