As far as I can tell, no. As Bledd said, it is now a seperate addon (I downloaded the pack today and integrated it into my XP disk but haven't tested it in the VM yet).

However, WGA does have some bad habits (checks for legit copy constantly. Why not check whenver you try to DL updates from microsoft and/or once a month? year even.) and the false positive rate is very high, so some legal XP owners get constant "Your Windows is not Genuine" messages. I have 10 computers, all WGA, no problems, but many people do.

It hasn't been included in my pack for the last few versions, as the changelog on my site would have told you.

And for the record, the addon on my site is just for WGA Validation (892130) now that Notification is no longer appearing on MU.

Hmmm, what happened with Genuine Notification? It is gone from MU, but what is the scoop??

No clue. No complaints either
