not surprise, either.
I find it sad but amusing that Microsoft is getting all hot and bothered about security for XBox 360. Seems like they are more worried about a game system than a computer operating system.

I use XP home , W98,and Manxxx 10.1 (don't want to violate copyrights of a cartoon strip who took the name from an ancient herb.) I keep all my real important stuff on a computer that does not connect to the Internet.

But, why is every one getting tight shorts about the possibity of MS knowing what games you play? Will Billy Boy steal your points for Doom XIX or your tells for Texas Hold-em? Sure, privacy is nice. But, Google your name and see what is out there about you. Privacy is a myth. Big Brother learned about you when you got your firt Driver's License or library card. If you want to hide from Uncle Bill or Uncle Sam, pay cash, unplug from the 'Net and use pencil and flash paper.
