WGA meltdown makes ‘pirates’ of Vista, XP owners

If so, it would be the biggest problem so far in the developer’s contentious WGA program. Designed to spot pirated copies of its Windows and Office software, WGA has been mandatory since mid-2005 before nonsecurity updates or files can be downloaded from Microsoft’s site.
