Story: Microsoft offers WGA workaround
Posted by: Anonymous (Sunday 9 July 2006, 6:26 PM)
I run 2 computers with 2 fully licensed Windows XP Pro SP2.
Yet, Microsoft's workaround will not remove its latest spyware parading under the WGA misnomer.
I will follow the pregression of the latest lawsuit against Microsoft.
Here is part of the 26 different E-mails I have exchanged, to no avail, with Microsoft Support:
"Microsoft Update seems determined to deny legitimate and licensed users unfettered access to updates unless these legitimate users agree to multiple ethical and law skirting abuses by Microsoft Update.
Legitimate licensed users are now forced to agree to a nebulous Supplemental Agreement which is nothing but a unilateral Microsoft revision of the original EULA if they wish to download ANY Microsoft update.
Legitimate licensed users must now agree to let Microsoft violate their privacy
Let no spin prevaricator tell you otherwise: the Notification tool included in Microsoft's WGA to surreptitiously monitor user's computer operations is spyware by anyone's definition.
