Windows Genuine Advantage worse than we all feared (Download Squad)

Sep 26th 2006 2:24PM WGA is total crap. I have a small computer business and have many copies of Windows XP laying around brand new in box. Each time i install a brand new copy onto a computer I build/repair/upgrade, an average of 70% of the time WGA claims it's not valid, even though I have the COA in my hand along with the box it came from. Now some may say "Well what if the packages are fakes?" I ordered them directly from Microsoft, so it is extremely highly unlikely that they are fakes :-) If I only knew *nix or MacOS as well as I know Windows, I'd make the switch and never return.
