World Cup scoreboard

Microsoft have written a nice widget type application to show world cup updates called Football Scoreboard 2006.  It's not bad, but it does force you to go through the pain in the a$$ Genuine Software process,

Just don't place it too close to the top of the screen.  If you expand the details when near the top, it partially disappears off the top of the screen (rather than drop the app down).  Once it is off the top you cannot reposition it with the mouse!  So you either have to stop/restart it or use the keyboard shortcut (Alt-Space) to move into view again.
