Thanks

Excellent, Microsoft being a good partner with the Computer industry and users as a whole. More things like this can only serve to bolster the MS image.

A little nervous

I am definitely not a fan of botnets and hackers. I believe there is a special place reserved for them in Eternity. However, does it not make anyone a little nervous to realize Microsoft is compiling data from users of their software tools.

So does this mean they are using my or your pc as the tools for the collecting and tracking of this information. I dont want to be running my resource hog vista box for botnet hunting unless I tell it to.

~Ubuntu?

Bolster? LMAO

PLzzzz MS and their image? You mean shoving a forced upgrade of the worst OS in history? And denying anything is wrong? I do not recall MS asking or disclosing any such information exchange between users and the software tool. Gee....the robber Barons are being secretive? Nawwwwwwww

Security experts?

Isn't this "Microsoft security experts analyze" a little weird? Just a question but seeing the history of MS I might not read (too) much on it. Yes, they have good people, a lot of them, but security experts? Why they haven't used these experts before? No - I'm not against MS, a very happy XP user a long, long time and they really have good people but something is not (yet?) working in that company. And Google "extractor cofee" - (spelling is correct) they do funny things - some are going to the right direction, some ??
