This is VERY VERY true. There is an app called RegMon [sysinternals.com] It is basically a tail -f of Win registry hits. If you run this app (or a similar one), run it and go to WindowsUpdate [microsoft.com] (with IE of course... :)). You will be afraid.
You'll see your full (registered) name, product ID, unique ID's, everthing about your machine and you being accessed by the prompt that says "No personal information is being sent to Microsoft".
Seriously. Try it. "
MS strikes again
