Btw, I know of 2 other ways do bypass this WGA myself as well.  So many ways to skin a cat when it comes to Microsoft security.

I never tested it for Windows Update. However, as per M$ recent statement windows update will work irrespective of the OS being genuine or not. The test that I conducted was purely done for those Microsoft tools / products available on the M$ download centre which installs only on a genuine copy of Windows.

FYI: Microsoft has fixed this issue immediately after few days of the workaround was released. So the workaround might not work for any of the current downloads from M$ download centre. Bad Luck ... ;o)

 

There are still ways to circumvent WGA, I am currently working on it but can't comment anything at this point of time.
