 |  Windows Genuine Advantage suffers worldwide outage, problems galore We contacted our sources at Microsoft, who told us off the record that the company is aware of a major WGA server outage affecting users across the globe. The Windows Genuine Advantage support forum has exploded with complaints, as a result, and Phil Liu, WGA project manager, says that he won't sleep until the problem is fixed. Windows Vista and XP are affected, 32- and 64-bit versions. Microsoft is telling users who are affected that they should "try again" later, with some support techs telling readers that Microsoft is aiming to have a fix in place by Tuesday, August 28. That would mean the outage will last more than three days, given that it started last night (and may have started earlier; we're hearing reports of some users running into this earlier in the week, on limited bases). http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...ms-galore.html

| I wonder if you go there now and you don't have a legit copy whether it will validate it as legit just to get around this crisis...  |
