  --Microsoft to Clarify Purpose of Windows Genuine Advantage Daily Check-in
(8 June 2006)
Microsoft agrees that it needs to be more forthcoming about how its
Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notification tool behaves.  The tool,
which is designed to ensure that computers are running legitimate
versions of software, checks in daily with Microsoft.  Microsoft says
the daily check-in allows the company to shut down the program quickly
if there is a malfunction. The WGA licensing agreement does not disclose
the check-in feature. The company plans to change the program so it
checks in every two weeks instead.
