Windows Genuine Advantage Servers Out

Posted by kdawson on Saturday August 25, 2007 @07:23AM from the single-point-of-disadvantage dept.

krewemaynard writes to let us know that Microsoft has been having major problems with its WGA servers since at least Friday evening. Quoting Ars: "Users of both Windows XP and Windows Vista were writing to say that they could not validate their installations using WGA, and one user even said that his installation was invalidated by the service... The Microsoft WGA Forums are full of problem reports, and Microsoft WGA Program Manager Phil Liu has acknowledged that there is a problem, and that MS is investigating." Update: 07/25 22:10 GMT by KD :Microsoft has identified and fixed the problem and posted instructions for anyone whose system mistakenly failed a WGA check. (The link posted earlier was to a 2006 article.)

Just wait 'till MS has their own corps of Enforcement Gundams!

Then you'll see some mighty fine Ubermodding!
