Ha, ha. Jerks.

Laukev7:
This confirms that Microsoft does not collect personal data with WPA. So what?

Fett101:
So, there's always been bitching about this here.

The bitching isn't about what it collects, it's that it collects it at all.

There is no reason for a piece of sortware to collect any data and phone it home without the users concent. Furthermore, WMP is pretty cavalier in the attitude of "were not sending anything privet, so it's ok." Because the very nature of the WMP EULA says they can gather any info they want!

Their not doing it now, but what's to stop them in the futre concerning that nearly everyone clicked the "I agree" button.

Just because eating a little arsnic one time won't kill you, dosn't maen a gradual increese in dosage over time is a good thing.

Wisdom. And it's something  AMerican Society at large lacks, understanding of how actions today  effect the world tomorrow or ten years down the road.

Companies like Microsoft bet on this to stay true, knowing America is more likely to   not realize anything until it's toi late to do anything about. Microsoft has always worked this way, and will continue to work this way.
