MS customer tracking? 2004-04-10

I'm not as concerned about the Blaster count as I am about Microsoft tracking customers.

This article says, "More than 16 million PCs submitted to Windows Update were infected by Blaster."

This implies:

1. Microsoft is tracking customers.

2. Microsoft is using the tracking information for purposes beyond customized assistance.

I wonder what else they are tracking?
