[CS-FSLUG] "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification" via autoupdate?

[Tim Young]

I install the Windows Genuine stuff on my computers. Linux email 
client,"Pine" sends (or at least "sent") an email off every time someone 
installed it. I am careful to adhere to most EULAs, as much as possible, 
and I do not mind it people check that. I have reinstalled my OSes a 
number of times and have not yet needed to call up Microsoft to have 
them reactivate a license key. So far, I have not had any problems with it.
