I hadn't heard about that one. I have found there are problems with Core
Force and Windows Update ( I haven't spent enough time to figure that out)
but haven't seen any problems on that PC with WGA ( not sure of CF is
blocking or not). Its a play PC and the only one I have with the full WGA
on it.

After reading a lot of the stuff on the WGA forums I wonder if MS isn't
trying to make more money for PC Support consultants .
