As I always say stay tuned for further updates or a new email address – at least.

I wasn’t surprised when I read this. You may use the usual defense that ‘you’ll be fine if you have nothing to hide’ but the BIG question is why should a private company (Microsoft) want to know your computers and hence your activities when it has nothing to do with them.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all the movies and stories like Animal Farm and Metropolis are coming true and you are letting it happen.
