According to MS this is what they collect automatically:
* OEM product key
* PC Manufacturer
* OS version
* PID/SID
* BIOS info (make, version, date)
* BIOS MD5 Checksum
This is what they ask for when you register:
* Home, small business or enterprise user
* Brand of PC
* City where PC was purchased
* Country/Region where PC was purchased
* Place of PC purchase
I don't see what the big deal is.

you try to download from Microsoft in the near future.
