It is absolutely inconceivable to me, if true, that
that is not some kind of criminal offense.
To build in to an O/S release to automatically fetch
files without your explicit knowledge and permission
and even to fetch them from a company which is renowned
for security holes even if the intent is benign(hah!).
If true, I am enraged and astounded that the American
public is not enraged. I wonder how this affects corporate
users. I wonder if Japanes industrialists run XP.
I wonder if Dell would be jointly criminally liable.
How could this not be frontpage news with info on how
to cripple this 'feature'?
What is wrong with us?
I actually hope this story is a hoax.
Is The Register reliable?
No wonder they have such disdain for the govt. and the law.
They want to BE the govt. and the law.
Sorry for getting political on this list.
Chastised in advance.
