Microsoft Snooping

Posted at 11:55 am MDT to Technology

More reasonsfor not loading Microsoft Vista (besides the fact that it runs like a pig on most known hardware). Lots of the software components included in it periodically phone home to MS with information about your system and activites And you aren't allowed to turn off the reporting. Others collect data but only send it when you trigger a transmission by doing something like running the program.

I wonder what happens if you try to run it behind a firewall?
