What happens to customers who failed WGA Notifications for Windows XP?
Users who are notified that their copy of Windows XP may not be genuine will receive notifications prompting them to validate it. If a user fails to validate Windows XP after 30 days, the desktop is set to a plain black background “black screen” every 60 minutes. The desktop can be changed by the user but it will revert back to a “black screen” every 60 minutes Users will see a permanent notification on their desktop. The notification is click-through and is non-interactive. Newly launched applications will cover this notification.
