Re: Microsoft - How can we spy on you today?

Ahh think about it.. money. They think there a monopoly so they will figure out ways to triple their profits.

PS there's already spyware built into Windows.

Well dude. Sorry that your soo upset with them. But I dont believe that. They wouldn't be soo dumb to add spyware, and for what reason? Money??? Believe me, they have plenty of it. And I dont think they are that dumb to even consider that. They would lose no less than 60% of windows users to other OS's if they made that move. I would be one of them.

I dunno. Think about it. Windows is being used in over 90% of all computers in the world. It doesn't matter how much a company makes because they will always want to find ways to make more money since that's why stockholders invest in a company. Even if it was known that Microsoft has spyware in their machines how many of those 90%+ computers are going to switch to something else after they have gotten so used to Windows and how it works?

After all most spyware just looks at where you go online in order to send you advertising tailored to your apparent interests. Microsoft might see this as a cash cow in advertising. It's not much further from when they were loading up Windows 98' with various ISP offerings and links to specific commercial web sites. All Microsoft has to do is have a press conference telling everybody how their new "innovation" increases your "Internet experience" by having the web tailored to your interests.
