Windows 7 Genuine Advantage
Should be aptly renamed to “Windows 7 Ungenuine Disadvantage.”
Why you ask?
Simply because a single simple hardware revision (“upgrading” your computer for example) can make it lose it’s mind.
Would you like to know the modifications I had to make to my computer to get “You may be a victim of software fraud” and “Activate Now” popping up all the time since the first time I activated with a serial code provided from Microsoft?
I had to make one: Attaching a second IDE hard drive that’s less than 20GB.
That one IDE hard drive freaked Windows 7 out like there is no tomorrow.
Luckily, since the Beta is free; I have another key; and have re-validated my version of Windows 7 as genuine.
