I wouldn't care if there *were* (which is incredibly unlikely, btw, if
you actually know how this works). I'd get it straightened out, and
aid Microsoft in fixing the problem - something I'm better suited for
than most users. One of the advantages of not being too cheap to
support the software I use, is that the people who make it actually
give a fuck if I have trouble with it.

By the way, this "issue" of "false" positives has been misconstrued.
The only *evidence* (but the lack of other evidence is not proof that
it could never, ever, ever happen to anyone else, I will
grant - whoop-de-do ...) of false positives has come from
*unintentional*, but nonetheless *improper*, use of Product Keys.
Basically, someone has a legit copy that came with their computer, and
they use the wrong disk to reinstall (with another OEM's license,
which doesn't match their machine), or the computer shop they took it
to does that.

So, let's think about it: many people in this newsgroup bought a
retail, or System Builder "OEM", copy, with an *individual* Product
Key, and all or most of the rest are smart enough to use the proper
media that came with their machines, if they need to restore/
reinstall.

"False" positives, for us? The Linux trolls are really going to
suggest that's even remotely likely? Bullshit!

The code was written by a human, right? Human's aren't perfect, so
there are bound to be unforeseen problems with the numerous combinations
of hardware that is available today as well as what will be available in
the future.

Then why do stores like Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Sears and many others have a
loss prevention department? It's so they can catch a person in the act
of stealing so they can then alert the police to press charges. That's
all this update is, it's just a means to alert Microsoft of suspicious
activity with a activation key.

Then let them come. I still have the original installation DVD as well
as the cash register receipt from when I bought Windows 7 and the laptop
that is running it.

The articles I quoted are not written by Linux users. This is a NEWS
group where NEWS is posted. At least you tried to address the issues but
you couldn't help yourself and had to try and shoot the messenger as well.

W.A.T. is spyware, just like WGA was. The difference is that this
spyware will phone home every 90 days or as often as the owner of your
copy of Windows (not you) wants to check.

They don't go into people's home to ask for the receipt again, again and
again. Once activated, that should be the end, just like at the stores
you compared this to.

That's not what I was talking about in the context of calling you
"Linux trolls" - I was talking about your insinuations, like the one I
was *replying to*, specifically, that "false positives" are a concern
*for us*.

Try "addressing the issues" properly in the first place, instead of
disingenuously attacking us over a tangential, phony issue.

I use Windows Update, I use WGA for other downloads - this new feature
isn't one bit different in its intent. I'm using a legit System
Builder key, and no activation cracks, so at worst I'm helping make
sure the feature works properly for other users. Color me not
embarrassed.

Well then it's a very good copy of a real DVD as it has all of the
holographic images embedded in the disc, and that's not cheap to duplicate.
