New WGA Nagware?

[Poppa_Meth]

On a couple PCs today I've seen a new version of the WGA Notification tool come down the line as a critical update. I didn't install it even though all these systems are legit. I thought MS had stopped the nonsense of forcing this on people as a critical update?

Is that for XP or Vista

I always do custom updates and only install the components I feel I require, regardless of whether M$ label them as critical, recommended or optional.

Don't know about vista but it's definitely coming down the pipes for XP. I think I'll switch all ours back to notify only so I don't have to worry about this junk downloading.

In the minds of Microsoft, it is critical ...
