i would add that auto updates should always be enabled - too easy to be lax with manual....


WGA false positives when the WGA server when down
Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

If you're getting WGA positives, the system actually has to say that is the case.  Sure you ain't been sharing your licence?  Also, IIRC, your licence was OEM? If so, check if it was tied to a particular manufacturer.

I don't have any experience of Linux running on Win via VMWare but it sounds awfully complicated. Could you not just run a separate Linux box - or am I missing something?

Jim
I could, but the advantage of multiple servers running on more powerful hardware is due to the 'bursty' nature of most servers, the virtual machines tend to run faster than if they were on a dedicated, but modest, hardware.

But the main reason is my £100 per month leccy bill - I really don't want to pay more!

At least you can get VMWare to reboot the VM automatically.  ::) :-[

LOL, the VM was fine, it was VMWare's subsystem that fails....

I know of both theses issues (its my job to ;))

The first only affects volume copies, which nobody should be using at home.

2nd was a simple glitch, and won't affect anything long term (the scope of it was very small).


Neither are a reason not to run automatic updates, as not putting on the security updates asap is dangerous and irresponsible.


Perhaps I should have said 'WGA for home users does not permenently give positives unless the licence has been breatched'
