Well, I'm not whining, but just take a look at the facts.  First,
Microsoft
publicly denied that the registration wizard sends all this info about
your
computer.  Then, somebody used a packet-sniffer (or something, I forget
which)
to show that it really did send the info to MS.  All of the sudden,
Microsoft
is pretending they never said that and is saying it was a feature they
added
to enhance their quality of service or something.

Admit it, doing easy registration, and collecting info about everything
installed
on your machine are not the same thing!

It is one thing when people know this is happening, but they were trying
to
say it wasn't happening!  That would really bug me. >:^(
