The question to ask ourselves is - are Amiga owners being spied on?

I know a lot of people are using Jabberwocky(?) with MSN... and I've
noticed my Voyager web browser always sends a few packets somewhere
when I close it down...

Maybe we've become a little too complacent.

I remember the Amiga net game dynAMIte used to read some library and
display your system configuration to other potential combatants too!

I wonder what AMIGA software is secretly doing the dirty on us!

Whilst I agree that they are trying their best to correct the problem,
the situation is pretty much like it is in Iraq.

People will always have the urge to attack Microsoft because they are
a big monopoly, crushing diversity and opinion in their path.

People start using Linux and then Microsoft goes on about how Linux
infringes patents and starts threatening them.

I don't like to see anyone ganged up on, but I suspect Microsoft have
had their fair share of government tax cuts and slack cut for them.
Just as I suspect the Japanese government has for it's big player
Sony.
