Aren the WGA Notifications similar to the way spyware works since its not in Add/Remove Programs?
The definition of spyware is that it is installed without the user’s consent, it has some malicious purpose, and it can’t easily be removed by the user. WGA meets none of these criteria. It is opt-in, seeks only to notify the user if a proper license is not in place, and can be suppressed via the system tray.
