Subject: ALL PHIL WINDOWS XP USER
As part of Microsoft's global efforts to address software counterfeiting, we will be releasing an update to the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notifications program this September for users of Windows XP Professional. We are therefore urging users of Windows XP Professional to activate their software as soon as possible to avoid any inconveniences.
We know that a lot of users may be unaware that they are using unlicensed software. To help determine if their software is genuine, we are advising Windows users to validate their software through www.microsoft.com/philippines/genuine as early as they can.
The WGA Notifications Program is a set of technologies that are designed to help protect consumers and businesses against the risks of counterfeit software. WGA allows users of our software to validate that the copies of Windows XP installed in their computers are genuine and properly licensed.
Those who are unable to validate and activate their software will receive notifications informing them that they could be victims of counterfeiting. Also included in the latest WGA Notifications update to be released is a permanent desktop notification where the desktop background will change to black every 60 minutes. This will not freeze or reduce the functionality of the computer. Users who experience the black screen can revert to their original settings by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing "properties" or changing the display in the Control Panel. However, the desktop notification will recur every 60 minutes until the users have validated the copy of Windows XP or entered a genuine product key.
