Ed Bott's article on ZDNet is just another example of the growing number of WGA horror stories. The difference is that Ed's article is the result of sifting through 15 days of WGA problems as reported on MS' own official WGA Validation Problems forum. Ed found that, during that 15-day period, 42% of the people reporting WGA problems were running valid copies of Windows XP.
Dave Winer recently became another one of the XP users who had a legal copy of Windows but who was told otherwise by WGA.
Microsoft sure does know how to piss off their customers, don't they?
