Privacy or Free software?

#1 Post by ulrich.von.lich » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:47 pm

So it's called the Windows Feedback Program

I would definitely try it if I lived in the US. Don't really need another copy of Vista, but I'd be interested to see how my privacy would be invaded. I don't think they could ever find my porns

Reading the update at the bottom of that NBR post says that the free software offer has been withdrawn.

Y'see, to get me to use Vista, they'd have to pay ME.

If I want to run games, I'll stick with XP, thanks.

i looked at this option, but it seems to be a bad waste of time. they probably monitor your screen and document your system settings and log your software and all that jazzz. in my opinion i don't think it is worth the software.
