Microsoft fixes WGA??!?!?
Microsoft fixes WGA??!?!?
I say false. Why?
Apparently the problems just started on this Friday...? But wait... in the same article:
So this problem that has been around for over 2 years is now a problem that needs to be fixed before Lou goes to sleep again?
Translation: After 2 years, we finally came close to a near-fix and then decided to make a press release to make it look like we care about this problem.
My guess as to the future of WGA: M$ says 'too bad, so sad' and continues restricting their already inutile OS and apps from people who have legally purchased the rights to use them.

WGA has been a source of frustration for users since it was launched in 2005, and earlier this year Microsoft acknowledged that WGA had mistakenly identified more than half a million Windows users as software pirates.
