This is the thing software producers are the only producers of products that do not meet and standard for consumer protection, exposure, or any liability. In short their end user license agreements give them very broad powers to do what they want gleen information install other hidden programs, and then absolve them selves because it was in their licensing agreeement. In short click OK on anything electronic they can use your computer for what ever reason. Why because there are NO consumer software/End User laws YET. Tell me Firestone is paying a chunk of change for tire defects, now what defects in software code has MS paid...answer $0 you clicked OK and they in their legal terms and fine print gave you no rights. See my ethics thread, since when did a hunk of code give any company any right to my computer resources...well look to change that legal loop hole through contracts in gov and business and well consumer goods and products need consumer protection.
