    I was installing a legal copy of XP at work and the Genuine Advantage Verification Tool still didn't work.

    I guess that article doesn't show anything illegal. I just find it interesting that MS forgot about some of the ways...
    I have all MS software legal and still don't like the verification tool.

    Cheers,

    There's a program called muBlinder which lets you download straight from the Microsoft website, even if Genuine is usually required.
