Microsoft remove the KB905474?!?

[codenamexxi]

I have formatted my PC and installed Windows XP with only SP2...

I have visited the site Microsoft Update and installed ALL the required updates...

no trace of the WGAN KB905474

A user posted a similar situation awhile ago.

Likely, WGA is dead for good.

Micro$oft was probably getting annoyed at the mass traffic they were getting on their verification servers - all machines that had it installed would connect to the M$ server to check if the machine is running a genuine Windows XP installation.

However many million machines running XP with WGA constantly pounding at their servers was a little too much for them to handle...
