Microsoft claims that one of the reasons for the update was that they are
listening to feedback from the customers.  I wonder where they are putting
the 'shove it' feedbacks?

Microsoft has updated the Windows Genuine Advantage program today in
response to feedback from users.
"There's no denying WGA has had its challenges but we really think
we've listened to customers. When a customer fails it now gives more
information as to why. Some 33 million people have gone through WGA now in
the UK alone. We've added a glossy wizard to make it easier for customers.
If any IT manager does have problems, please get in touch and we'll try to
help." Microsoft UK anti-piracy head Michala Alexander told The
Register.
