I agree with ScanIAm; Thurrott is a troublemaker, jumping on the WGA-bashing bandwagon simply for the hits his site will get.
I don't think his article was complaining about his particular installation being hit, he was merely using it as an example to show people what the WGA screens look like.
What he does complain about though is the way that Microsoft put out a pre-release version of WGA on WindowsUpdate as a critical update, and not disclosing to people that it would 'phone home' on a frequent basis.
That's not jumping on a bandwagon, that's stating the bleeding obvious - and considering he is a tech journalist writing mostly about Windows, just exactly why shouldn't he?
