Yeah, I couldn't install the latest security update today; I was forced to run WGA first. I have to admit that I didn't try very hard to bypass it since WGA was already installed on that machine. Microsoft has been quite successful in associating security updates with piracy. Perhaps not at a technical level, but definitely in people's minds. 8-(
