Why did Microsoft® decide to launch a new WGA Notifications feature?
Since Microsoft® launched WGA worldwide in July 2005, we have validated more than 500 million systems and investigated many user enquiries. Based on this feedback and to continue to assist our honest partners drive greater awareness of the value of genuine Microsoft® Windows®, Microsoft® is enhancing the WGA program with the new Notifications feature. Every year, millions of consumers and businesses are hurt by counterfeit software which they have acquired unwittingly, and many companies that license legitimate software have difficulty competing with low prices offered by software pirates.
