Wonderful! Thanks for alerting us to this, cpilot :Thmbsup:. I guess the best advice right now is to stay away from any downloads/installations that require WGA do its thing; it's too risky right now.

There's supposed to be a fix by Tuesday (Sept. 28) but then again by what I'm reading M$ isn't sure what the problem is....so who knows?

This is possibly a more recent update from the source linked above.
Update: Word from Microsoft is that this problem has been fixed, and all users affected should revisit the WGA site and re-validate. There's no explanation as to why Microsoft was originally telling people to wait until Tuesday, but the good news is that the problem has been solved.-http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070825-windows-genuine-advantage-suffers-worldwide-outage-problems-galore.html
