Windows Genuine Annoyance?
Privacy experts and PC users alike blast Microsoft's antipiracy tool
,----[ Quote ]
| A Microsoft program designed to thwart software piracy has instead
| opened a Pandora's box of privacy concerns. PC users cried foul when
| Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) software frequently phoned
| home to Microsoft servers and apparently flagged some legitimate copies
| of the Windows operating system as pirated. The incident spawned two
| lawsuits and has raised concerns about what Microsoft is adding to
| its software updates.
