Microsoft to publish its privacy rules

What a tangled web we weave: The public document will use a lot of 'shoulds.' Inside Microsoft,
those are 'musts.'"

then

"Microsoft's privacy reputation is not untarnished. Earlier this
month, it faced criticism for not disclosing that one of its
antipiracy tools, called Windows Genuine Advantage
Notifications, pinged the company every time a PC was booted
up."

Wow if they are "musts" it must be that MS employee's don't read
them, or are they so diluted that an application calling home all
the time without warning the user is not considered a privacy
issue within MS?

Does this document even exist yet? We know that the SMB
protocol remains undocumented after more than a decade of
use.; Posted by: Richard Flude Posted on: 06/25/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
