I would like to point out, that after some searching on the internet i found a really easy "hack" to bypass OGA. The only thing that has to be done, is to download de executable which generates the code and set the compatibility mode of it to win2k. It seems to work for OGA (not WGA). As I did not examined the technical side of this 2 problems (why OGA does work and WGA not and why an authentic code is generated in win2k mode), this would be a nice subject for a paper or a poc like this.
