Microsoft admits XP tracks your downloads

The latest news report says that Microsoft has now admitted XP tracks and notes every music download a user makes. One can only wonder how selective it is, and what other downloads it also records.

    What do you expect from this SOB? Mr. Gates has all the money he needs so his next thing is just like that of the select dozen or so who run the entire world......POWER. Except he has one problem. His ability to exercise Power is limited by his physical size....hence only tiny chicken s--t type programs can be instituted by him, like using his defect ridden software to spy on the folks who have been duped into buying it...Paying Bill $200 for something called XP which won't run on a regular computer, and then paying for a new $1,000 computer to run it, and then having it do everything slower than the old 486 running Windows 95 makes as much sense as his desire for POWER! Few flies are being killed by 12 gauge shortguns! Wonder if XP can kill flies??????

    The guys on "The Screen Savers" on Tech TV explained how Windows XP was designed to CONSTANTLY send "little packets of information" back to MIcrosoft; this was when discussing the operating system BEFORE it was released "officially"--they "shut-up" about it real fast after Microsoft bought a few million dollars worth of advertising!Now it's "The Screen Savers" brought to you by "Windows XP"! And not a word about the "spy ware" embedded in the system.Bill Gates' little contribution to "The New World Order"...

    I know this probably sounds Judge Dreadish, but I firmly believe that Bill Gates is from outer space.

    Low--I saw that movie; David Bowie was in it. He arrived on earth, became a multi-billionaire, then a wasted alcoholic. From here to God's ear.
