Windows "Genuine Advantage"

I run both a Mac and a Windows machine at home. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. One thing about Windows is their incessant need to make sure you have a licensed copy. They even go so far as to ask you to install software so the con monitor the license status of your copy of XP. I live the language:
"The Windows Genuine Advantage Notification tool notifies you if your copy of Windows in not genuine." Yeah right! If the copy is not legal (and mine came with the laptop), I am sure the machine would cease functioning after installing this intrusive software. How bogus and transparent can a company be? Do they think we are stupid? Perhaps we are for continuing to buy their products.
