^666^, i understand your situation, but please be careful with your choice of words. It would be in your best interest to settle this dispute as soon as possible considering you just got cleared from a previous one.

deepcool0922, if you are not willing to listen to suggestions on solving this problem, and keep going around accusing others without proper investigation, you should not be doing anymore transactions online. There are many suggestions on how you may go about to confirm whether the OS key is genuine or not. Also, considering you already have a sticker with a license key on it, you can always reinstall your OS with that key. Check whether the sticker is genuine

and if it is, there is nothing to worry about.

Well, i think you solved the case yourself then. If the WGA tool says its genuine, then it is genuine. Also, you have the COA sticker on your laptop to say it is genuine. You can always call up Microsoft's piracy hotline to check on what type of system your key is registered to (they usually will know your model number etc so if you reinstall it elsewhere, you need to call them to reactivate).

In the event as you claim someone else "stole" your key, you still are the genuine owner of the cd-key, and you can always call up microsoft to reactivate it in any case. Nobody is going to tell you that the key can be used "forever". If you go around distributing your key to everyone, it is highly likely that Microsoft will blacklist the key, then you will have to carry your notebook (public transport or otherwise) down to Microsoft's office, so that they can check your COA and issue you a new key.
