How can you "know the facts"?

You could:

  A.  Obtain a beta copy of Win95 and see how the registration process
works.

or

  B.  Trust those who have.

There has never been a release of Win95 that transmits system information
to Microsoft without a user's consent.  If you dispute this, please cite
the specific build number used, the test(s) conducted, and the results so
that they may be independently and scientifically verified.

I've seen no such study.  Microsoft has from day one published the precise
details of how a proposed automated registration process will work.  In
one word, VOLUNTARY.  Those are the facts.
