    It is more than an accumulated update otherwise its size would have been very small for my machine .

    The WGA is supposedly replaced by a new tool WAT .

    With a genuine copy of any MS products i have always found that using the activation and failing path leads on to a MS human who have no problem re activating any machine that i have had a licence for .

    Yes the SP1 works well with some dodgy copies but has it dropped a file on that will later fail activation ???.
