Vista Question

People have told me Vista spies on your computer and knows when any
software on your computer is legit or not. Is this true?

No, but wear a tinfoil hat just in case.
People have told me that it protects you.

Just don't get undressed in front of your computer. It will see you!

You jest but my mates wife wouldn't buy an Acer laptop because it has a
built-in webcam and she says she often uses her laptop whilst in various
stages of dress (or undress)......it's like...people have forgotten about
'off and on' buttons!!!

Not any software, just Vista itself. When you go to get updates and bug
fixes,
it will check to make sure you're running a legal copy of Vista. It doesn't
check
3rd party apps and data.

Except for Office, and in the future probably other MS apps (but
that's not 3rd party).

Re: Vista Question
all/most NEWER microsoft programs, like Vista and Office call home frequently to verify the program is authentic.
