Just checked with mine but did n't d/l because of this :

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)
443 KB , less than 1 minute
The Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool enables you to verify that your copy of Microsoft Windows is genuine. The tool validates your Windows installation by checking Windows Product Identification and Product Activation status. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed.

Ah fuck it I'm going try it whats the worst it can do? You can still get security updates anyway. And the rest from outside sources .

Dam buggers you have to enable auto updates if you want to d/l security updates . I hate that but thats the price I'll pay .I refuse to pay, like Ross said a new key gen. is just around the corner . Hey so is the new Vista O/S !
What me worry .

Hey sports fans it gets better you can not enable auto updates after this authentic check , dirty buggers

Believe me I tryed, turn on auto updates before you d/l the newest updates and you should still be able to get the critical updates .

This seems rather too simple to work...but it seems to bypass the check

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

Close Internet Explorer, then go back to the update site
