Linux Passes WGA Test!

Mmm... More Slashdot goodness. A user wanted to download DirectX 9 to see if it would work with Wine...

He goes to the download page, and he needs to verify that he is running windows... OK. Run it with Wine, and he gets a valid code. Simple simple.

It seems that Bill Gates has a soft spot for Tux after all, or at least isn't bothered about him downloading updates.

So wait a second, let's say I have an Illegal copy of Windows XP and Linux on the same machine. I want to obtain an update. So, I reboot into Linux, and with the help of Wine, obtain a valid code and download it. Sweet.
