Can anyone explain to me why any rational human being on the planet would *choose* to be exploited and spied upon by Microsoft? |

It's a trade off at the end of the day. Put up with being spied on in exchange for not having to think. |

I think it's the abstract nature of computing. If creepy little people were coming into people's homes, taking pictures and recording everything, that would stir up some outrage. (Though surprisingly little, I'll wager.) But when they boot up winduhs, they don't see all those bits traveling over the wires to Redmond, it's just magic voodoo. |

But tuxchick, why be suprised. We know that all to many people 'do' regard computers and even electronics as magic. |
