So MS knows not only my hardware specs but also my email address then? What
about privacy? And please let the next proposal not be to use snail-mail
instead …
I just imagine the many end-users having hotmail addresses letting MS send
the updated files to the hotmail account. Up to now they “only” had your
online profile, now they even have your computer’s profile to match it up
with the other profile(s).
Sorry for being a little negative.
Just my 2 antimatter-cents
