WGA Down For The Count?
By Robert | August 26, 2007
Well it was only a matter of time before Microsoft paid the price for the useless anti-piracy tool; know as Windows Genuine Advantage, or WGA. The WGA system has been a disaster waiting to happen from day one.
Well it looks like that day has come.
BoingBoing have reported cases of the WGA system not working as it should. It is making legitimate copy of Windows fail the WGA test and they are being marked as pirated and limiting the feature set of that copy.
It was always going to happen. The WGA systems have been a pain in the butt from day one. Hopefully this will teach the people at Microsoft that you can’t put so much faith in to a system that could go down at any second. But as always this will just make them bring in some other ridicules systems that will most likely be even easier to crack and just as unreliable.
If that weren’t bad enough, the article also mentions that Microsoft is recommending people refrain from retrying activation until Tuesday the 28th of August. If you’re unfortunate enough to get caught in this let us know in the comments.
