[nfbcs] Windows Genuine Advantage Notification question

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good evening,

To the best of my knowledge Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) is a  
Microsoft tool that verifies that you are using a genuine, not  
pirated, version of Windows on your computer.

If your system does not pass WGA then you are unable to install any  
other updates on the system.

HTH,
Everett
