Hi Mike - > >>>No offense, Ken, but you are obviously mis-informed. There is no >reporting to M$ for information other than what you send (bug reports and >registration) This has been verified by many magazines and security experts. >The "secret key" is just a string of numbers and letters derived from >various hardware serial numbers, it cannot mean anything to M$. I'm not going to argue it with you, but in a firewalls email list that I participate in, where there is as much emphasis on stopping unauthorized outbound traffic as there is on stopping unauthorized inbound traffic, the story is very different than what you are telling. What you are saying would be true IF you turned off the optional "features" that are on by default. Since there is no way I'm installing XP, I obviously can't speak from personal experience.
