And who's to say that they're not?  The wizard is for registration only
but the fact is that Windows 95 + MSN can work together to send data from
your computer and maybe even entire network through a secret door to MS. 
If they can do it during registration then they could concievably do it
any other time.  Also who's to say that some hacker couldn't find a way to
use the secret door.  I can name several companies who'd pay muchos
dineros to have such a hacker do his thing.  And to think, you thought you
were just uploading your E-mail.

Also for those who think the MS "virtual modem lights" are the answer to
those with internal modems, if MS was stealing secret info that you didn't
want them to steal do you think they would have their virtual modem lights
lighting?  Prob'ly not.
