Yea, I heard about the MS so much fk up for privacy invasions, time get a firewall and anti-spy software to block them.

I dislike XP's activactions and privacy invasions, I would get W2K heh!

What's privacy anyhow?

Everywhere you go on the net leaves an IP trail that can be followed if a person knows what they're looking for.
