ways to get arround WGA check:

1.) http://www.extended64.com/blogs/rafael/archive/2005/07/27/1026.aspx

2.) http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jys05000/

3.) http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/28/microsoft_genuine_ad.html

4.) a.) install WGA
    b.) in directory C:\documents and settings\all users\application
data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data\
    c.) make file data.dat as read-only

5.) [got more to add?]

don't complain if they don't work (anymore)...
