    Windows Genuine Advantage

    First off I hate it, its buggy and very very sketchy.

    Second off, I love it when MS's biggest supporter and reviewer gets slammed with "you have an illegal copy of windows". It must bring joy to all of us Windows Users.

    His picture promo is pretty clever.

    The knock is that 25% of WGA flags saying that the copy is illegal, is on PERFECTLY LEGAL COPIES!

    Its just a bad program.
