coa failure

[cp]

After 7-8 months I got the message "that I'm a victim of software
counterfeiting" (the blue star) and that my xp professional is not real. How
can this be possible, I've done numerous downloads from Microsoft and it
checked ok before.

Tired of this WGA crap? It gets worse with Vista. Why don't you try an
Open Source operating system like Ubuntu? No WPA. No WGA. No DRM. No
need for an anti virus or anti malware applicatons. All you need is a
router with a hard firewall to protect you from the blue meanies. Not
only that, Ubuntu is FREE. You can download it or order the free CD and
they will pay the postage! If that isn't enough, it comes with thousands
of great programs that are also FREE, including Beryl which makes
Vista's Aero look like a team of monkeys designed it!

Check it out at http://www.ubuntu.com/
