Microsoft antipiracy tool 'acts like spyware' - ZDNet UK News

Microsoft antipiracy tool 'acts like spyware' - ZDNet UK News

I am comfortable with the fact that Microsoft is using Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program to harvest information from our computer.  There seems to be a lack of disclosure from Microsoft about this feature of WGA.  I agree that anti-piracy is a worthy goal but there needs to be a line drawn as to how far Microsoft can go without invading our privacy.
