Windows Genuine Advantage - Disable?
Anyone got a simple way to disable the WGA nag screen on startup and those annoying pop-up nag balloons?

Much obliged.

I just found a way that appears to have worked well for me. I've only been living with it for about twenty minutes, I've rebooted twice and no problems so far.
