i was working on a machine yesterday that had failed the WGA check, as soon as it was plugged back into the network, it began downloading security patches.
ironically, most users of pirated copies of windows completely disable automatic updates - for fear that it will "phone home" or install a newer copy of the WGA software that will defeat their cracks/workarounds.
it is access to microsoft's windows update site, as well as some of the material on downloads.microsoft.com that becomes unavailable after a WGA check.
