No it's NOT true that WMP sends info back to MS about what you watch/play. I have ZA on and WMP NEVER connects to the internet unless I watch a streaming video.

Try a dedicated conection. Like a T1 or DSL and check what packets are being sent out, then youll know for sure.
I have heard people on this forum test this and they report that WMP does send info. out if conected online. M$ has also admited that WMP collects data on what the user watches or listesn to. They say they are not using it for advertising or anything but they don't say they won't.

Might sound to you like a stupid question but what guarentee is there that some brilliant open source programmer contributing to linux isnt imbedding some kind of wierd shit in his/her programs? being open source, I doubt if there is any control over that. I read that article and there are some very good points in it from a business point of view. I dont like Microsofts
business practices any more than any of you, but most companys are not interested in experimenting, they want proven systems that contribute to the bottom line. You would have to admit that the layoffs at Red Hat and others are a bit of a concern. Much as I dislike them, if I owned a large corporation, I would have to go with microsoft.
