you are talking aboutMakaveli213 said:All i have to say is dont people realize that M$ has been spying on us since Windows 95? I mean come on. Why do you think the US govt was so happy when Windows took the front spot. M$ made some back yard deals with the Gvot to allow them to snoop around your PC without us knowing it.
The same thing can be said of any product though. How are we to know what Firefox collects in their info? Has anyone ever checked all their code? Dont get all upset when M$ does this. **** if you had 60,000 people who salary you had to pay you would do something like this also. Would you really want to lose Millions of $$ a year to piracy? I doubt you would....
