I work on a lot of different PCs. Is there a SIMPLE way to determine if the
Win XP that's on the PC is authentic? Sometimes it's easy to know (they get
the "may be counterfeit" popups), but if the latest updates haven't been
installed (e.g. Win Gen Advantage), it's not always easy to know for sure.
I'm looking for a program I can store on my USB thumb drive (along with all
my other tools) that I can run stand-alone that will tell if the user has
one of the pirated versions or if the OS is authentic.
p.s. There are some MS programs that authenticate before installing, but I
don't want to actually install a program just to see if Win XP is authentic
or not.
