Microsoft still fighting claim it distributed 'spyware' to XP users
,----[ Quote ]
| The plaintiffs allege that Microsoft
| improperly distributed the Windows Genuine
| Advantage tool, without proper consent from
| users, in a manner normally reserved for
| "high priority" security updates. WGA, as
| it's known, tests to see if a copy of Windows
| is valid and delivers warnings if it doesn't
| pass. Microsoft's Automatic Update system
| lets users opt in to receive fixes and
| patches for the operating system.
