  1. Comment - The Truth About Windows Genuine Advantage

    (May 16, 2005 - 4:32 PM)

    Hi:
    I'm a genuine windows customer; I purchased a retail genuine Win XP Pro for my computer.
    When MS came out with the GWVT in late October, I hurried over to take advantage of the offer of the Photo Story 3 freebie! Of course, it blew up my computer and I lost a couple of days of work.

    Naturally, I'm such a loser, I tried again a couple of months ago. The GWVT blew up my computer big time and I lost 3 weeks of time on my computer. MS support interogated me and validated my copy of windows WAS valid, and I purchased it etc. but it STILL blew me up.

    Now, in the end, I'm not sure if my computer can do automatic updates anymore. I don't feel very safe, even though I'm assured I'm a 'valid' windows user. I don't think my computer thinks it's valid; I feel invalidate. I feel less secure.
    It's been a genuine bummer. MS has assured itself that I'm not a pirate. but I'm still out in the cold.

    this is a true story.
