From CNET's News.com:

Microsoft has been named in a second lawsuit over its antipiracy Windows Genuine Advantage program, which plaintiffs allege acts as "spyware" on their systems.

This time a lawsuit was filed by several companies as a class action in US District Court in Seattle.  Full details here. Microsoft says both lawsuits have no merit and ZDNet blogger David Berlind agrees.

Meanwhile there are a few reports that Microsoft is dropping WGA completely.
