But the reality of the situation is that any program that makes an
outside connection can be accused of the same thing, the only
difference is there is no evidence that any other company has ever
tried it.....ooooppps I forgot, there isn't even any evidence that MS
has ever tried it either.  But because some people are sooooooo
paranoid that MS might collect some information about them, they go
off on wild joyrides with the truth and completely ignore facts (the
facts of course are that several publications have verified that the
only info being sent is the info the RW asks if it can send).
