I should Work with Windows Updates if you have a NON-BLACKLISTED Key installed... Have You Actually Tested This Before You Concluded it Doesnt Work With Updates... Or Just Trying To Increase Post Count ;P
This works but if you install windows updates to service pack 3 then it invalidates the activation saying its not genuine. Activation Fails...............
With most cracks, you have to reinstall after SP. Cracks are not the way to go, unless you have no other viable options; and that is very seldom. It may work, and looks like a nice app, just not my thing and it will fail eventually..
I agree even if you just mod the XP cd to VLK and use WGA fix you will get all the updates. OEM is best way but both OEM and VLK are better than this method.
