Microsoft The AutoPatcher project has been asked by Microsoft to stop operations. "Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. We would like to thank you for your support. For the past 4 years, it has been a blast. Unfortunately, it seems like it's the end of AutoPatcher as we know it."

WGA will never play a part in the security update side because everyone and anyone can download security updates. If you have a legal version of Windows why does it matter anyhow? I dont see this as contempt, its Microsoft protecting its brand because if someone does litter the updates with viruses and malware, who is going to field the calls? Microsoft. Not you, not me. IMO people are blowing this way out of left field.
