Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

So what you're saying is, the WGA server became invalidated because the
WGA server that provided validation for the WGA server became
invalidated, thus disabling its ability to validate the WGA server, and
so the WGA server became unable to validate WGA requests, so starting a
chain reaction that may lead to the termination of all copies of Windows
licenses, and so the dawn of a new age of Freedom through, the immediate
global adoption of Linux?

Boost!
