I Don't Think So
I have my Windows installation set up to check for updates and let me know when new ones are available. I don't let it do automatic updates.
This evening I finally got around to looking at the update that had been sitting there for a couple of days. A helpful text box popped up explaining that this latest oh-so-very important update would scan my computer and if my copy of Windows was bootlegged, then a friendly message would appear periodically to remind me to upgrade to legal software.
Now if I have a legal version of Windows installed (I do), why would I need it? And if it's a bootlegged copy, why would I let you install an update to annoy me about it? I guess they're going after the dishonest *and* stoopid people out there.
No thanks. Cancel install.

Heh, I had the same thoughts about that Genyoowine so-called 'Advantage' but then I was reading that soon it will be a requirement, and that there may be plans for the WGA to check for authentic versions of OTHER programs installed. It's another instance of Microsoft wanting to play big brother.

I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is novel. - Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething. - Mark Twain 1835 - 191

I have learned some new things from your website about personal computers. Another thing I have always imagined is that laptop computers have become a product that each household must have for many people reasons. They provide convenient ways in which to organize homes, pay bills, go shopping, study, hear music and perhaps watch tv series. An innovative strategy to complete all of these tasks is by using a laptop. These computers are mobile, small, effective and easily transportable.http://www.newjordansreleases.com
