WGA is a JOKE!
This is too funny! Some guy managed to pass Windows Genuine Advantage while running WINE on linux! Especially since the WGA FAQ explicitly states that WINE users will not be able to pass this test. So this guy either faked it (which is possible) or MS did not test their code on emulators despite claiming otherwise (also possible).
We know that WGA is buggy. They had that javascript hax not so long ago, so it’s not very far fetched to assume that it might be other ways this system can be fooled.
Note - these are the guys who want to be the DRM empire. Meanwhile they can’t even get a simple license check working right.
