"Anyone downloading updates for Windows XP will be required to check that their operating system is genuine.

Security updates are exempt from this in order to prevent people spreading viruses across the internet."

Eh?
What is the diffrence between an "update" & a "security update"? I thought they were all security updates.

In Internet Explorer
Tools > Manage Add-ons
Disable "Windows Genuine Advantage" thingy

Close Internet Explorer, then go back to the update site

I can confirm this works 100%, as there was an optional software update today :)

Microsoft requires Windows piracy checks

just wondering, personally i have a legit copy of xp home (we got it when we bought our computer 2 years ago) but i wanna install xp pro corp edition soon, will the serial that came with my computer work on xp pro corp?

If you read slashdot then ya probably know but everyone else:

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address
bar and press enter:

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

It works, but you have to redo it every time you visit Microsoft update.

The method that I posted is permanent.
