Beware all Windoze Lusers!
Microsoft Office products are known to send back little info packets
to Redmond WA / USA. This fact has incensed some hapless victims to
the point of switching to other operating systems :) I have witnessed
this myself on Win95. Why on earth starting up MS Word should engage
my modem in useless and unwanted conversation is beyond me. It was enough
to make syre I never used Office products whilst online ever ever
again.
Beware all Flash Lusers!
It has been revealed that ecah time you load a page with Macromedia Flash
embedded within, that product transmits in an information packet to Macromedia,
and the little bugger can contain sensitive personal information.
You have been warned! Your privacy is mere poopy when using Windoze!
Switch Operating Systems Before It Is Too Late!
