I guess now you can't do any updates if your version of windows is not authentic. It forces you to download this validation patch, and won't support or let you update anything if your version doesn't pan out.

One of my machines I bought about 2 yrs ago off someone, and I had no problems updating till now....ugh. I even have the installation XP disks he gave me with the computer but I guess the code is not valid anymore.
