READ THIS !!! No April Fools joke...

Microsoft is sneaking Spyware into Windows 7 & SP1, Vista and XP. Your computer will be scanned and reported without your knowledge. Not only are they looking for terrorism related info but also illegal music, videos, photos, programs and anti-activation hacks along with other things.

Don't believe me.. read it for yourself here: http://tinyurl.com/y8dftzj & here: http://tinyurl.com/ydz6rcq and here: http://tinyurl.com/ybhvk8f

Why are they doing this again? I don't know jack squat about computers and such, but how do they benefit from doing this?

If you read the article you will notice that it will be another revenue stream for Microsoft. They will sell this spyware "service" to the legal authorities so they can bust you. Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 is NOT out yet but MS said they do intend to place this spyware inside of it. But for now, it's in the planning stage.

I did notice that one of the articles said that MS would be able to program "Windows Defender" to do the snooping on your computer. Windows Defender would do its snooping dirty work when the computer is idle for about 15 minutes so you won't notice. I also read that Defender can't actually be removed from Win7 and Vista so I plan to cripple it. But who knows, maybe they'll turn it back on so they can do a scan and then turn it back off.

I like how MS always "slides" these spyware type of updates into Windows update, making them look like legitimate updates. Wouldn't it be nice if they said, "Download and install this update so we can spy on you." Anyway, that's why I do manual updates and read what they do before I install them. Luckily, I saw the update that looks for hacked versions of Windows and didn't install it. I also like how they "slide" in the updates called Windows and Office Genuine Advantage "WGA" and "OGA" that looks for illegal copies of Windows or Office on your computer and then deactivates them so you have to buy them. It's to their advantage.. not yours.

Imagine.. all of your Alizée videos and photos being reported as stolen or illegal. Don't laugh.. it's a service from Microsoft that's coming to a computer near you!

Money can be only factor for this if it is so. Lol, if they report about Alizée's stuffs on your HDD, then they will see so many pics, videos and files of single of a French singer and that would surprise anyone.

HAHAHA! Its times like when I'm proud to say that I have a Mac!

Seriously, Microsoft is the most evil, heartless, soulless, and downright greedy company ever. And before any of you Mac haters start, I know they aren't perfect and the only reason they don't have viruses is because they only have a 10% market share.

The same with Linux, low market share means that it's not worth writing viruses for Linux, and also the community will probably quickly find a cure for this. But it's still a PC

Once you go mac, you never go back.

It's comforting to know that Alizée is also immune to this
