Cherokee you right....In Germany we got a lot problems over here and like Puntomaus said: [Over here in germany people take data protection very serious and no one has to stick his nose into my PC.] Microsoft even losts a lawsuit against a german student who demanded the disclosure (right word?) of the data that is transferred to Microsoft. They refused to give the information and got kicked a**. If you could understood German you would see, all over the past years the german computer magazines writing issues about those criminal acts and spyware props.
