For those of you running with Firefox, you will - i am sure - be aware of an annoying problem when using this browser to download Microsoft tools and utilities...
With IE, an ActiveX control is installed on your machine the first time you access one of these files, subsequently Microsoft can easily check if your copy of Windows is a genuine copy before allowing the download to proceed.
With FF, this active X approach does not work, so every time you need one of these downloads, you first have to download a seperate .exe file, run it, and then you are allowed to download... Not anymore - it seems - visit the WGA Plugin site to get a plugin installed into FF that allows it to behave in the same way as IE....
