Windows Vista OR Your Privacy

Did you know that there are over 20 Windows Vista features and services secretly collecting your personal information and transmitting to Microsoft? Well it's true. Microsoft is not denying it and the users have no choice.

If you read between the EULA lines, you will find that Windows Vista provides Internet based services where Microsoft reserves full control to alter or cancel at any given time. These services can share and transmit the users' information without any notification. In fact the EULA has the following quote:

"By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you."

Using information harvested such as simply the IP address, they could locate and contact you.

I can go on and on about many things like this written in the original article. It is worth having a look especially if you are using Windows Vista.

Please don't get me wrong, my intention here is not to put down Microsoft, but I feel that people should know about these things especially when it comes to your personal information and privacy. Without knowing, there is no way that we can equip ourselves to safeguard such information. So have a look at the article on softpedia.
