I have seen some false positives.

Our computers at work were taken out of the box with windows on them from the factory and a few weeks ago I noticed some of them are showing as not having legit copies when we KNOW they do. These computers even have the key and on the bottom of the systems with a sticker and it is the same key loaded on the system.

Well, the whole WGA crap is a fiasco anyway.
MS dropped the ball by not checking the keys people were
inputting with a hard-coded and encrypted key on the install
CD. I'm now running Vista 5728 RC1.
It boots a lot faster than XP, and so far I don't see any
problems.

Preloaded big name (Royalty) system should never have the key on the case show up in the key finder or they have been improperly installed and will ask for activation.
