"The Microsoft spokeswoman said it was impossible for Microsoft to track Windows users on the Internet or access their computers. ?That?s totally wrong,? she said. The idea apparently grew from privacy concerns about early versions of Windows 98. A coding flaw allowed Microsoft to collect information about unique computer-identifying information. The company said it had since fixed the problem." Uh, huh ... I'm having trouble understanding what sort of "coding flaw" would lead to such a capability. Of course, that's JMHO.
