Microsoft has upgraded their Windows Genuine Advantage software for Windows XP and started its deployment since the beginning of this week.
The black desktop will be introduced to systems that fail the WGA check which is a simple black desktop that was set in place by the system that removed the original wallpaper. The user is free to change back to his initial wallpaper but the system will revert back to the black desktop every 60 minutes.
The second popup shows “You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. This copy of Windows did not pass genuine Windows validation” and an image with the text “ask for genuine Microsoft software”.
The final way of nagging the user will be system tray notifications which will pop up regularly. There will also be a pre-logon message and a logon interrupt message.
So be sure that your windows is Genuine before updating to newer WGA version.
