Guilty until proved innocent
Microsoft's whole approach with WGA is to start from a presumption of the
customer's guilt and illegality. Yet I seem to remember isn't it Microsoft that has
spent years in court and been found guilty?

The number of times I have had to recover and reinstall Windows XP and then
perform the updates and the activation because of the non-existent BSOD. It
made me make the leap to the Mac without regrets. By the Way in XP the only
reason that the BSOD does not exist in Microsoft's eyes is because they change the
default settings to do an automatic reboot after a BSOD. Which makes trouble
shooting REALLY painful!

Why do legitimate customers want this pain? Microsoft needs to rethink their
strategy.
