【Vista之家译】Windows Vista正在监视你

对Windows用户来说，WGA是一个众所周知的信息收集工具，但是如果你认为Windows系统只有这么一个东东在收集你的电脑数据，那就大错特错了。最新的Windows Vista中有超过20项系统服务在不停的把你的个人数据发送到Redmond的那家公司的服务器上。微软也没有隐瞒，在安装许可说明上已对此明确表明，用户根本就没有选择的权利。

Forget about the WGA! 20+ Windows Vista Features and Services Harvest User Data for Microsoft

Are you using Windows Vista? Then you might as well know that the licensed operating system installed on your machine is harvesting a healthy volume of information for Microsoft. In this context, a program such as the Windows Genuine Advantage is the last of your concerns. In fact, in excess of 20 Windows Vista features and services are hard at work collecting and transmitting your personal data to the Redmond company.

Microsoft makes no secret about the fact that Windows Vista is gathering information. End users have little to say, and no real choice in the matter. The company does provide both a Windows Vista Privacy Statement and references within the End User License Agreement for the operating system. Combined, the resources paint the big picture over the extent of Microsoft's end user data harvest via Vista.
