Microsoft is Omniscient, know this.

Bazoukas:
You mean will Windows keep track of where you go even if you dont use IE?
  If thats the case then try this :D  <-Push me

Doctor V:
Its really hard to answer that question.  Thr truth is, only the programmers at Microsoft really know.  Because they havn't released the source code, there's no way for someone to check and see exactly what Microsoft is doing.  They do keep the index.dat files from IE, which they don't do with Netscape (try Mozilla, Netscape's cousin).  But its very possible that they do keep track of you in other ways.  They certainly do with windows media player.  They also have been known to put signatures on the files people create.  Now, if you are not OK with all of this, there is no reason that you have to use windows.  Have you ever tried an alternative?  Linux is IMO a good one that can do more than 90% of what windows can.

Poop:
How do they keep track of you in meadia player?
