Tenchusatsu RE: "How do you know that Microsoft isn't surreptitiously scanning your hard drive" I don't. I can't protect myself from things I don't know about. Like cookies. Until I found out what they were, I couldn't protect myself from them. Users of cookies claim they are harmless and required to use the internet. I don't care. I consider them an unwarranted invasion of my privacy. Why is it necessary to wade through 6-15 cookies to get on a site? I now protect my computer and privacy from them when possible. Intel has already shipped millions (maybe only hundreds of thousands) of these chips that the default is ON. Why didn't they ask the market if this was something it wanted before jamming them down the throats of the unsuspecting masses? Bad Call. BT
