Microsoft introduced WGA when Vista was launched. For those who
are not aware of what WGA is all about. WGA is a mechanism used by
Microsoft to detect pirated and non-genuine installations of
Windows but as all Microsoft product it also has a problem which is
while it’s been good at detecting non-genuine installs of Windows,
it can sometimes incorrectly flag a genuine install as non-genuine
and sorting this out can be tedious and time consuming and even
Microsoft tech support acknowledges that WGA can sometimes be
wrong.
Microsoft would be starting on WGA notification for Windows XP.
Read this. Update to WGA Notifications for Windows XP Professional.
As a quote from the Article
Starting this week, we will begin deployment of the latest version
of WGA Notifications for Windows XP. In addition to the usual
updates to validation that improve WGA's ability to detect the
latest stolen or fake product keys and other attempts to circumvent
product activation, this release will also include a couple of
other significant updates.
Now what does this would mean is instead of having the Windows to
stop working completely we would see black screen of hell
Which means that your XP would be working as normal but you would
always see this when you open your Desktop.
As well as constanly remind you about your non-genuine version of
XP
