Windows Update Key Validation

[Cheesus]

Went to do a Windows update last night and they've just began do to a key validation procedure before you can update anything. Since I'm still 'evaluating' my copy of XP, I was denied. Found this handy-dandy work around, worked like a charm:

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter: javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

Also, as another workaround, the WGA tool gets installed as an add-on in IE. So, you if have WGA installed you just go to IE options, manage add-ons and choose disable.
