So it finally happened; “Windows Genuine Advantage” (WGA) stopped working for a day or so. To install some XP and Vista distributions, you must pass WGA. To download some critical XP and Vista patches, you must pass WGA. Not only did this say “sorry, you can’t download this”, it actually put some people installing legitimate systems with legitimate serial keys and legitimate installation media and license into what’s called “Reduced Functionality Mode”.

And to think; the perverted, spineless scum installing and using the cracked versions of Windows that does not use WGA did not have to withstand this at all. One wonders exactly how Genuine that Advantage really is.
