At the same time they are also making the user stronger by giving him
more tools and options out of the box.

Subject: Windows XP default install enables remote control
The setting is in the 'My Computer' properties, Remote tab, Remote
Assistance (must be checked), Advanced. Also the 'Automatically
download
updates' is checked by default. When I first started the machine up
after an unattended install, it gave a help tip that it had connected to
the internet.I didnt have a sniffer running to catch the trace, so I
think I'll go back to ground zero and start over to see what this is
sending back to the mother ship...
Also I got a balloon that said I needed to set up a MSN Passport and the
wording was such that a naive user would interpret it as required to use
the computer.
