WGA false positives

There's nothing official, as yet, but the rumour-mill has it that Microsoft's beta WGA software, pushed out as a critical update, is finding a lot of false positives:

And you really, really don't want to inform a client like Proctor and Gamble that it is pirating code; and, my sources insist, that's exactly what the beta code has been doing.
[...]
When the rumour started spreading, users got together to share outrage. It quickly became apparent that some of them weren't at P&G and instead of having corporate rank, were quoting military rank. Yes; the USAF has also been tagged, say my sources, as a corporate pirate.
