and we have to trust them?

After the last post, I turned off automatic update on the Windows XP lab computer. Now, everytime I log in, it nags me about a new update.

After ignoring it a few times, I checked to see what it was about. Why, it's an update of Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications!

Evidently, there's now two class action lawsuits over WGA, calling it spyware. Not to mention the fact that it would erroneously label some Windows XP installs as non-legitimate. What a pain. I suppose I will have to install the update though. At least then it phones home less often.
