A) I agree with Cudni  .
B) Am I missing something here?
His instructions are to begin by downloading the installer from the Microsoft site, which he links to. In order to download the installer from the Microsoft site, one must pass the validation test, mustn't one? |

This might be useful for Linux people wanting to run IE 7 under Wine (which I realize sounds like a silly thing to do, but there are a LOT of legacy Windows application out there) |

I think it will be short matter of time before we see zip archives with all of those files included (as well as a batch for replacing backup copies of normaliz.dll etc).
whatever....Firefox2 today! |

agreed..
not to mention, they can keep it. I'm genuine, but it's just a freakin' browser. They make is sound like it's worth gold or something. Firefox or another browser will do me just fine. Besides, as it looks, IE7 has Firefox Envy anyway.

True, no reason for such things (unless you are on Linux) because everyone knows both Microsoft and WGA are completely infallible.... |

The author of that first link is from Bagladesh, I wouldn't doubt pirated copies of everything is the norm there, so the need to bypass this would probably be a big deal for most there. |

My copy is legit, but I don't want to run GWV, so it's useful to me. |

Yes, but the others are now part of the Borg, Resistance is futile — you will be assimilated.
Even if it is futile a lot of us are resisting. |

Even if yours *is* legit, WGA is still bull$#!T.
My post from a similar forum:
My computer is not an extra-terrestrial, it does not need to phone home for any reason (not even crashes). It and the software on it belongs to me (I paid for it), thus it will or will not do exactly what I tell it to.
Same reason I will not buy a new Chevrolet; I don't need a direct connection to GM.

lol i just watched the ST:TNG episode Q Who online. for you trekkies, you know what episode that was about. and for you non trek nerds, that is where Q (John DeLancie) sent the Enterprise D into Borg space and that is how the Borg found out about Sector Zero Zero One. |
