Yeah, Windows has to connect to the microsoft database to check if your serial key is registered and paid for. So if you prevent internet access and don't run the system process that tells your computer Windows is registered, it will give you that message. It's more of a logic flaw than a programming error.
I disagree. I'm your average user, if not a little biased towards linux. If I had recieved information that killing my system processes would speed up my computer, then I would have encountered that error. Regardless of the severity or odds of it happening, it shouldn't even exist. This bug should have been fixed long ago. Or the OC just needs to WPA him/herself.
