"Vista also incorporates Windows Defender, an anti-virus program that actively scans computers for "spyware, adware, and other potentially unwanted software." The agreement does not define any of these terms, leaving it to Microsoft to determine what constitutes unwanted software.

 

Once operational, the agreement warns that Windows Defender will, by default, automatically remove software rated "high" or "severe," even though that may result in other software ceasing to work or mistakenly result in the removal of software that is not unwanted."

That is a good read. Big Brother is not watching us any more. He`s trying to control us. And his name is Microsoft.

 

I`m just grateful that I came across this forum, otherwise I would probably be taken in by all the media hype. I don`t think I have seen a good word about Vista anywhere. Well, maybe on the Microsoft website.
