Microsoft Blames Recent WGA Problem on Human Error
A few days ago, we reported that Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage validation and anti-piracy program glitched, and flagged legitimate users as pirates. Microsoft fixed the problem as quickly as possible, and now has a full explanation of exactly what happened. When employees tried upgrading the servers, they all started declining validation requests, hence, locking legitimate users out of Windows. Fortunately, once Microsoft caught the problem, they were able to roll the servers back to the previous version of the server software within 30 minutes. To prevent such a disaster from happening again, Microsoft will be adding checkpoints to the validation servers, and will ensure customers are auto-validated if the servers are ever down.

I downloaded a Vista crack, I forget the name because there are so many that also emulates an OEM OS. I can't wait to see Microsoft try and shut that down and piss off millions of customers. :nutkick:
