"Genuine" is a term Microsoft uses to refer to licensed copies of Windows. Technically speaking, anything that is capable of interacting and managing hardware resources and provide a platform for programs to run on is a "genuine", or "real" operating system. Because the license checks on Windows can be bypassed, it can be difficult to determine if your installed copy is licensed and activated legally. If you are using a Home version of XP or Vista, make sure the latest version of WGA (Windows Genuine Advanatge) is installed.
