Windows Genuine Advantage

There’s been a long time since I posted here.
I didn’t have the time to do this anymore.
But, when I’ve seen this proof of stupidity, I couldn’t resist…
This is what my Windows wants to update ..

Well, I will not make this update 🙂
Not that I am afraid that my Windows is not genuine .. (I *bought* it last year from Microsoft Store in Redmond), but I refuse to allow them to check something that I paid for … even if I don’t own the software itself (I own only the right to use it)
