Microsoft wrote the book on information gathering ... Ever called customer service... and they told you ALL about your system specs, ISP connection issues, blah blah ... While, in the 'fine print' you agreed to this, even during purchase of your OEM install, its absurd on what they collect.

While they claim their intentions are for 'improvements' ... its not difficult to imagine how much money they could make by selling their 'database' of collected information.

I'm not saying that i think they would intentionally doing anything malicious, however, NOBODY ever likes to be 'tracked' or 'Collected' like some number.
