KB940510 sounds fishy to me..

MS flagged this as an important update.

Seems like MS want to protect itself, not me, from unauthorized

This is suppose be the patch that checks for the two cuurent activation

chaos as most cracked Vista would be identified before the final SP1 launch

Right after I posted, I read a thread here re: someone not being able
