[AccessD] OT: It may be time to stop hating Microsoft.

But why, I wonder. The first thing I do after installing or running for the
first time is to go for Windows update at which point (or thereabouts), it
kicks in - I accept it and then never  hear anything from then on.  


I am talking for many years now on many machines.  WGA has never caused me a
problem.

Astonishing, Max. You are a fortunate man. Tears poured in forums suggest
the majority is far from so well treated.
