Genuine advantage stops "found" copies of XP access to the microsoft update website. It does however allow access to automatic updates, unless they havent changed something between now and 3 months ago. Automatic updates only downloads the most critical updates, for example - security updates.

The reason being is that if "found" copies of XP have holes in the software, its easy for hackers to target them, and then dish it out to legitemate windows users.
