Well that is the rumor ....that M$ media player does this kind of thing........the other reports that I have read describe media player collecting all this info in a local file on disk.

What we need is to catch M$ transmitting this disk file to someone.......now that would be news.

Unfortunately no one seems to want to do the hard work to catch them at this kind of thing.  :mad:

Just take an UNIX server with a TCP/IP Catcher/sniffer and sniff all ports on output.
