Installed new Activation Technologies . . .

So the update was offered unticked, but I went ahead and installed it, over 4000 registry changes later, everything works . . . . After the reboot, Norton 360 needed another reboot to update itself. So 2 reboots later Windows cheerfully comes up with my copy of Windows isn't valid. Clicked get genuine, 3 seconds later everything is fine. I wasn't surprised about the announcement - it happened once before. It seems that 7 is a bit forgetful about the status of your license.

Will update gaming box next, followed by a clean install on another PC. I would go ahead and install this update. Sooner or later, Microsoft will push it on you, but you have nothing to hide - right? And yes, I spent a few hundred for this copy of Ultimate to clean install 7 onto the ultraportable in my specs, and it was worth it.

I installed it on mine as well, but so far nothing has happened at all.

I guess thats a good thing.

I have installed it on my laptop, but didn't start the laptop again yet as I use my desktop as main computer, laptop is for college mostly. I hope not to have trouble like that when I start it back.

Try it now and see.

Well, looks like Microsoft did a good job. Keep the comments coming.

Just installed the update..no issues here either. Was a bit worried since mine is OEM bought from Newegg but alas everything this works great.

Hi everyone - mine today for the first time ever came up with the windows not genuine message, but I to just clicked on the get genuine button and it came back as showing windows is acivated and I've rebooted multiple times since then - everything seems ok!

Frostmorne, et. al.

Sooner or later, Microsoft will push it on you

That is yet to be seen.

but you have nothing to hide - right?

That thought nullifies the US Constitution's Bill Of Rights, regarding illegal search and seizure...or do you think that it was written only to protect criminals? Perhaps you guy should form a club and have a theme song. You could use the melody for the Mickey Mouse Club and have sing-a-longs.
