Hi
Well this message is to all those people who don't give a dim about being spyed.
MS did check your computer since the days of windows 95.
Word prior to version 97 did save the directory structure of your HD with every Word document. Of course encoded so that it wasn't easy to get it.
Any Word document send over the Internet was and perhaps is automatically send to MS. So they know exactly what software (bought or pirated) you have installed.
Any file saved as encrypted message with Windows is automatically send non-encrypted to the CIA.
All Windows versions have backdoors that do allow the CIA to check your data.
Hey I live in Europe were privacy is protected by law. If I look at the USA or UK were on every corner you're supervised by some cams or you do get any informations about everybody for just some quids, well that is called dictatorship.
Especially the citizens of the USA are spoiled by advertisments and believe everything shown on TV.
So they aren't worrying about being spyed by MS.
OK MS won't send any agents to your home to arrest you, but that will come. Years ago (before internet) a big software company did send agents at 4 o'clock in the morning to software pirates and arrested them. (they did get them by fake software exchange lists in magazines).
No MS does the same thing:
like they do send wrong HTML code of their homepages to NON-Internet-Explorer-browsers like OPERA or Netscape. They do just the same thing with Win Users.
First check what software bought and pirated are on your win pc, then when you do install the next patch, you will get a patch compiled for your system.
If you have many non-MS or pirated software your windows will slowly begin to destroy your software or won't run correctly so that you are forced to buy windows and the new programs.
Or why do you think there are serial numbers in Pentiums and Co? Or what about theis TCPA chips?
Now that MS has gathered infos about all XP computers they taylor the next patch to just run on your computer with its unique serial numbers.
TCPA even allows that only some software will run e.g. a company buys some PCs which can only run Windows, Word, Excel and a CD programm. No chance to install any other programm except if you change the TCPA chip but that one is hardwired with the other serial numbers in the hardware and software.
Have you ever tried to install an OEM Win XP on another PC. It won't work. Why is hardcoded with CPUs serial number of the original PC.
Oh you can always say well I will buy another system: great! What systems? Apple? LINUX? Amiga?
Amiga were waiting now for 10 years ... no OS or a new computer now.
Apple? Will propably install it's own TCPA chips.
Linux has already now problems to play/burn DVDs. WHY? The PC industry (Win) doesn't allow Linux to use it's algorithms. And if you try to decode the programs you go to jail because of the TCPA laws (thanks USA).
The European Unity is going to have also these laws. Which means that we are not leaving in a democraty anymore. You will be forced to use and buy what the really big companies want. And MS is bigger than many governments and so we will only have Windows PC in some years.
Because the laws will force the companies to use TCPA.
AMIGA won't help much here: they can't even build 1000 units.

Bye Manou
