So I updated my XP Pro system and now I'm being told that I've got a bad copy of Windows.
There's a Microsoft Genuine Advantage update which apparently queries to see if this is valid and if it isn't prompts you to purchase the software. From Microsoft. At whatever price they want to sell it. Hmmm, maybe Microsoft is learning from the Oil Companies? Or maybe it's the other way around.
Anyway, so I don't pirate software, I have a legal copy of XP. And I want to re-activate. So I call Microsoft and discuss this with them and they want me to go through the 9 day long phone holding process. Otherwise, I can sign an agreement that they can come into my computer and have access to all my files. Uh, no.
Not gonna happen.
