Microsoft genuinely chuffed as judge drops WGA case
WGA the pain the ass, that can be bypassed in 1001 ways... the very same wonderfull bit of software which can show a perfect legal copy of XP to be well not so legal.. however in the eyes of M$ and the law it's a all in 1 wonder tool, helping rid the world of famine, war and pirate copies of rubbish operating systems...
No other pic, can't be bothered looking here take this one :
"Microsoft has claimed victory in a long-running lawsuit brought against the software giant over its Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) scheme, after a US judge dismissed the case. Late last week the judge in the District Court for the Western District of Washington dropped the case with prejudice, which means both the defendant and claimants will be required to pick up the legal tab.
It’s unclear if Microsoft came to any settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the case. It alleged that WGA breached privacy because it was spyware used to gather information about users’ Windows XP machines and accused Microsoft of making false claims about the software."
