My version is legitimate - but I want to approve everything that goes on my
machine - and Microsoft hasn't shown me that they're reliable enough that I
should just "trust" them. Besides, I don't like the idea of being forced to
accept everything they want to send my way.

Smart move on your behalf knowing the reputation of the conglomerate
in question. The United State Senate thought they were shady enough
to pull their ass in before an investigation committee. AND... as you
see, they assumed your copy was illegitimate and you were a crook
right off the bat. These people have no honor or ethics and they have
the gaul to question our honor or ethics and assume us to be crooks

Nope.... And... they haven't been subpoenaed to appear before a
Senate Investigation Committee to defend their questionable business
practices and ethics either..... I guess one goes hand in hand with

I guess you don't bank with one of those Savings & Loans I read about in the

It's not always appropriate to go for the "zinger", my friend.
I have a legitimate copy of XP, and still the "Genuine Advantage:
checker failed on my system. I have no idea why, but for a week or so
I was unable to get updates.
One day it mysteriously began working. If it hadn't, I'd have had to
go out looking for a cracker to use the software that I _paid_ for.

And if you know your tellers, and are friendly to them, then you don't
need an ID to cash a check. But I suspect an sh*thead like would have
to show ID even more if your tellers got to know you.

As both a Canadian and American citizen, the last time I
checked was that the burden of illegitimacy is proof beyond
a shadow of doubt by the accuser, or Microsoft. Rejection
by WGA is not a demonstration of such proof since (a) WGA
has not been certified to be error-proof by an independent
organization nor (b) has Microsoft proved beyond reasonable
doubt that each Windows XP, sold through its own distribution
net and affiliates is guaranteed to pass WGA. Furthermore,
(c) Microsoft is unable to protect the legitimacy of its
own product by making it piracy-proof, thereby invalidating
WGA among those presumed legitimate purchasers. That is,
Microsoft must safeguard its very own registered trademarks
and copyrights...which it has not done successfully.
