A recent lawsuit filed against Microsoft should have all companies reexamining their privacy policies to determine what information they are actually collecting about customers, and what they can possibly do with it.

Thanks for the link to your extended rant, I started to read it but got bored.
No software should phone home unless it discloses what information is being sent in clear and evident words.
WGA was annoying as it appeared almost inconspicuously and caused people concern and problems for others. What exactly was the advantage of this bit of cycle stealing software? (None in case you missed the sarcasm).
BTW, don't bother qouting me in your next "rant". I'd rather not be associated with ridiculous waffling.
