hi, I came across your site from the article at www.vnunet.com about this validation
workaround. I just have a question, will this workaround work with Microsoft

Windows Update site?
I never tested it
for Windows Update. However, as per M$ recent statement windows update will
work irrespective of the OS being genuine or not. The test that I conducted
was purely done for those Microsoft tools / products available on the M$
download centre which installs only on a genuine copy of Windows.

No where in the article or on your workaround instructions mentions how
this could also work with Windows Update site. Or I could have missed it or
something,

could this check work with W2K as well?
FYI: Microsoft has
fixed this issue immediately after few days of the workaround was released.
So the workaround might not work for any of the current downloads from M$
download centre. Bad Luck ... ;o)
There are still ways
to circumvent WGA, I am currently working on it but can't comment anything at
this point of time.
