User criticism sparks new tweaks to Windows Genuine Advantage checks.
Microsoft plans to roll out a new version of its antipiracy Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notifications tool for Windows XP over the coming weeks and months, following a barrage of criticism from users.
The software giant has incorporated user feedback into the new version to make installation of the tool and validation of the operating system less opaque, according to a Microsoft statement issued today.
The upcoming release of WGA Notifications features a new installation wizard and will display validation results as soon as the tool has been installed.
