I’m trying to get rid of the damn Office Genuine Advantage failure notification on my work laptop (we’re using VLK, so it’s def. genuine), and the runaround from MS is astounding!
I finally got it turned off, but I’m going to install Ubuntu and run my office automation tools from Wine. They work great on my RHEL5 desktop!
I love Linux.
The easiest way I know of to avoid issues like this is to use software which doesn't require it.
