[LinuxUsers] a little off topic

You may only need WGA to download the file from MS web site. It might
not be required for installation. Just Google the file name and
download it from elsewhere. Of course, if you just download it from
anywhere there is no way to trust it. So its either trust MS or trust
a stranger... i pick the stranger.
