Default Microsoft Changes WGA Following Spyware Allegations

If credit card companys monitor everything you purchase, Banks every

purchase you make, etc, etc. Then what is it about WGA that is makeing you
so paranoid?

Or is just something you can stand on your soap box and rant about?


And yes, almost forgot to add, that credit card companies,
banks, telephone companies, etc., are regulated in what they
can do with the information that has been collected. WGA and
Microsoft are not, other than a single statement of privacy.
And, also, just who are the "client" computers and what type
of security exists within the "data farm" that holds all of
the activation, validation and WGA data? Whom do you trust?
Want to trust a company that surreptitiously innoculates an
unremovable trojan into your computer?
