Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)?

Hi folks!
Sometime ago, I heard or read that MS was about to implement a tactic to prevent users with illegal Windows copies from getting updates. Is this Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool what they were talking about? What do you guys think will happen? Of course there will will be much more discontent from those users, and there will be a whole lot more computers vulnerable to malware out there.

You got it. This is the validation that has been talked about. It's weird though. One of my two computers required it. I have a desktop( didn't require it), and a laptop (required it).

AAHHH!! The new validation tool, well for the first time I used it it seems that my copy failed, message saying that this is not a legal version of windows, the funny thing is that I tried it three more times on three consecutive days and then all of a sudden it accepted my copy and now microsoft has validated it, allowing all updates again. Huh!! pretty weird, so all I can say is that if at first u dont succeed try try again...lol...
