Windows Genuine Activation - major bug
Looks like one of the Windows Updates is causing Windows Genuine Activation to fail. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is looking into fixing it. It appears some programs and even some Windows Updates recently released are causing Genuine Advantage to fail.
When this happens on your computer you will not be able to use Aero interface, you get constant popups from Microsoft notifying your copy of Vista may be illegal and the computer will run much slower.
Again Microsoft is looking into it, for now avoid using Windows Update. Here is more info on this issue:

This error has now been fixed ;)- visit http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/ and revalidate your copy. It should now validate and fix the problems; you will need to reboot the computer to get out of limited functionality mode.Let the www.rampantspeculation.com begin as to why this WGA issue occurred!!!
