What are your chances of detection by WGA?

It seems to be pretty small.

Using the Windows 7 loader by Daz and then running the MS checking programs downloaded from their website - reports that the version installed is Genuine!

When you download the WindowsActivationUpdate program from Microsoft you are told:

The software that you are about to download works with most browsers. Once installed, it will attempt to repair Windows 7 licensing components that may have been damaged, moved, or deleted. From time to time, this software will also perform a validation check to make sure that Windows 7 running on your PC is genuine and stays that way.

When you run the program on the Daz activated copy of Windows 7 you are greeted with:

Windows validation was successful
Now you can take advantage of all the value genuine Windows provides, including extras!


The same was not found when a copy of Office 2007 Enterprise was validated using (another Microsoft validator)
