New Version of WGA
For anyone that's interested, Microsoft will shortly be releasing a new & improved version of Windows Genuine Advantage.

In the latest update, Microsoft has changed the installation procedure of the tool so it's clearer to people what it does, said David Lazar, director of the Windows Genuine program at Microsoft.
