Windows Genuine Advantage Outage, Calls Everyone Pirates

[Third Eye]

Over the weekend users who went to update their Microsoft products via the Windows Update service saw an interesting note saying their software wasn't genuine. Essentially, Microsoft was calling every user a software pirate. The issue? It seems the service suffered a major outage that impacted consumers globally. Microsoft was immediately aware of the issue and simply told users to "try again later" Of course this got a lot of anti-WGA folks in an uproar, lending some credibility to their claims that WGA is a flawed system that could deny legitimate users access to patches.
The problem was fixed this morning so users who were having troubles should go to the WGA site and re-validate their installations.
