    Chinese WGA

    It seems the Chinese don't like Microsoft's WGA

    http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchin...nt_7127572.htm

    Now, I wonder why that might be?................ seems that they think it violates or interferes with their computers.......... silly buggers, they should read the EULA more carefully.

    You don't "buy" M$ software you "licence it" and it still "belongs" to M$. If you don't like that you boot Linux and use Open Office and other open source products.

    The one thing M$ will have to watch though is how their implementation of WGA actually works................ their track record so far has certainly been less than stellar?

    If you cannot do someone any good: don't do them any harm....
    As long as you did this to one of these, the least of my little ones............you did it unto Me.
