Just showed up for me as well after disappearing for a couple weeks. (East coast US) My test system is still "genuine" via a self-done BIOS mod. (I don't install that crap on my work systems, I don't want or need MSE.)
I received KB971033 on Feb 23 and hid it. About 10 days ago i noticed it had gone. Today it is back in hidden updates. Weird.
For a relative of mine, I bought an HP Pavilion laptop on Saturday. In India at least, for OEM and unactivated versions (like in repository), KB971033 remains unticked by default.
lol yeah right he bought it that way. check the partial product key... LOL lol....they are working on this update. it was not supposed to hit the usa yet. i have heard its still being worked on thats why a lot of people are seeing it again. i am now also seeing it but only on a few of my machines also i spoke with hp again to verify that the issues are not very widespread BUT they are investigating a few systems that were in fact flagged as non genuine directly from them. again this is not widespread but there are some legit hp systems with issues.
I have made more money working on HP brand computers than any other. Dell is probably second but that is due more to bad support than bad products.
I didn't, but to post on there and lie like that is just over the top and it show how a loader can get pick off
so it appears that WAT is here to stay and from wat ive heard(lol) wat will be part of windows 8....anyone found a way around this update yet besides not installing it? after all we are just putting off the inevitable come service pack one
So WAT is back for you guys ? Had a look in my win update and searched for new updates, coudnt find any luckily. Could it be beacuse i installed it via MS genuinethingy website?
i think if you click the link on the is it genuine website by microsoft that it automatically installs WAT .............im not 100 percent sure but i think i read it somewhere
Yes that is correct, same thing goes for any M$ downloads that require validation like XP mode. They all attemt to install WAT to validate your system dude. As long as you have a good loader like Daz's or a matching bios mod you should be good against WAT, at least for now anyway.
why you so worried about him ? why don't you mind your business? he's a big boy.. go back to posting your crappy "chit chat" posts.. atleast Armada contributes something worthwhile.. all you post are crap in "ChitChat" ... LoL! Stop hatin' dude.. that's all you do in here .. i went through your profile.. you contribute nothing to this forum ! absolute garbage ..
03-19-2010 04:02 AM That post was over a month old, and he didn't do anything that warranted being insulted in this post atleast. I have no idea about his other posts but this didn't seem to warrant getting hostile over. Noob, you have absolutely no right or authority to decide who contributes and who doesn't.
