Well ..... another M/S thingy ...... Today , I decided to check to see if there were any non critical updates for windows ...so I went to the update site and decided to click on express just to be sure I had the latest critical updates ...so it scans and says yes KB905474 W.G.A. notification ....so I click to install it ...and it d/l and then says installation was unsuccessful ..... so I decide to try it again ....same thing ....... so I go looking to find out what the problem is ....... I go to M/S per the directions and it runs the authenticity scan and says ok my system has passed ..... .so I go back and try again ....... same result ...fails to install....... so now I go into add/remove programs in control panel ....and look at the M/S updates installed and sure enough it was installed on May 7 ........ by auto updates. Has anyone ELSE run into this issue ........ As SOON as I find a e mail address , I intend to contact them and see if they can or will explain whats GOING on .
Now I realise that this update as well as the WGA is about discouraging SOFTWARE piracy ........which is ok with me , but I have the original OEM M/S CD and all of the packaging from back in 2001 when I purchased this pc ........ and it is completely legit ........

More Microsoft crappola. As always, just one more reason to consider Linux! yes , they sure make it difficult to keep their software customer satisfied .
