last night when I restarted my computer the Genuine Advantage notifications thing said I wasn't genuine. I know this is a genuine copy of windows because I got it from Dell. So I said "Get Genuine" and it let me log on. One logged in the whole thing went away. I even restarted my computer and nothing came up. I want Microsoft to make an apology to me for this happening. And no, I'm not some Apple/Linux fanboy trying to come up with stories that make Windows look bad.

Just to let anyone worried know, not one of the 50+ cases listed are concerned with individuals using a pirated copy of windows.
