Thumbs down

I think I raised an alarm (maybe 2 or 3) when I first learned about this Genoouine Malvantage --one of them that upgraded machines might be pulled into the err"program". Those who have had trouble getting on Hotmail or Expedia doue to third party programs and were hassel;ed with "solutions" that didn't work may also know why I got wary.

Huh? M$ offerring us an Advantage, and didn't charge for it ???

A request. Please post at least a paragraph or digest of the article, not just a link. It would also be helpful to avoid to use of acronyms that are not well known ("WGA" being case in point).

Thanks.
