is it true...?

(1/3) > >>

sjor:
I saw something in a newspaper or some magazine that MS were putting illegal spyware built into windows. They've also apparently bought out most of the large companies that work against this in the US. But i don't really no wats going on in the US...
i was just wondering, do u think it's true?

udaki:
actually its true.Didnt you read the microsuck featured article about Microsoft's hidden files?

TuxLinux:
+ They are now checking for all programs you have.  I do not have facts straight here, I do however believe it is true. It has been posted on the internet think on some news site.  After each windows update your machine gets tagged. I will update this if I find if it is really true or someone could come around and confirm it here. Nobody should be suprised if it is true actually. Coming from Microsoft a company with bad records in many ways! Antitrust... poor security.. making computing risky  etc..  You probably could fetch up millions  of documents on Microsoft in regards to the issues surrounding them. Just try to make sure to find a true  news site not just "believe them all" (reputable).

Orethrius:
I'm refraining from voting until you find the source again.  Could be another jackass that somehow thinks the cache itself qualifies as spyware.  It's not that its "hidden" that's the problem (that can be bypassed easily enough), rather it's what goes in it.  Decline further comment.

greatscot:
Seeing as how Microsoft was caught faking evidence in court, I wouldn't trust them to tell me the sky was blue.

Microsoft is nothing but a corporation of liars, con artists and thieves.
