Re: [WIN7] Windows 7 RC Collects Info About You

said by dave:

How many users would like it if Vista or Windows 7 poisoned their dog?

There seems to be as much evidence for that...
Is there an entry in the EULA for such a scenerio?

If you plan to use Windows 7 RC, and do any questionable file sharing maybe you should think about it a little more.

Do you owe millions to the IRS or Revenue Canada? Do you have something to hide?

If you do have something to hide cry to your local government about Microsoft, I personally have nothing to hide so I don't care if MS is collecting personal information about me.

Then you shouldn't care if the rest of us do the same.

Post here your actual full given name, home address, e-mail address, credit card information, and medical history, please.

TIA.

That stuff has been easy to get since days long before the internet. Guys would use codes to access banks either through TRW Net, or Datapak (which is still in operation right now) and grab your personal information and use it for their melicous needs.

Think of it this way, when you walk into a store that has a interact machine that instantly give the store owner a "approved" message after they have swiped your card and put in the amount without dialing up the bank (using a 2400bps modem) where do you think the data goes? It goes to a box that has a 2400bps modem in their back room that is connected over a data line to datapak and is up 24/7. The same goes for the interact machines at banks, they don't talk to other banks over the WORLD WIDE WEB they talk over a 2400bps or 9600bps modem over a large communications network like Datapak which has been around for a very long time.

If you live in Toronto you can find datapak's dialin number in the phone book for 2400/9600bps, you just have to know how to navigate through the system. It's been there since the 70's at least!

So if you are that worried about your digital foot print, stop putting your money into a financial institution, or the stock market, stop using a credit card, and law low, because your idea of security is really funny to me.

So back to the topic at hand, your worried about Microsoft getting ahold of your information which is really available to anyone possesing the knowledge how to get it. That's not me but honestly I don't care if Microsoft finds out my real name, age, address, drivers license, SIN number, etc.

Not a bad ramble. . . Not bad at all.
On the 1-10 scale, I'm giving it a 9.3.
. . your idea of security is really funny to me.
I don't recall posting my idea of security here. Would you mind pointing out where I did?
I don't care if Microsoft finds out my real name, age, address, drivers license, SIN number, etc.
So you say.
Yet you've declined to post that info here as requested.

The conclusion can only be that you have something to hide, your claims otherwise to the contrary.
