Lawsuit seeks to tag WGA nagware as spyware

[esh]

I can't help laughing at "WGA". I mean, I can kind of see where management were coming from when they implemented it, but as for the PR department... it is the most creepy and insidious name ever for a piece of software that effectively is there to "let you use your legally purchased OS". Yes, the genuine advantage is you can use what you bought and your computer won't get screwed up! ...... maybe. If it's a good day.

At least that was worth reading...

I know what you mean, esh. There's no advantage to users, genuine or otherwise; only to Microsoft.
