I guess it doesn't really matter. I mean, we've all...well most of us...have the p0rn. So what if some stranger in a microsoft cube knows about my stash of pics? As long as they don't call up the friends and family and tell them, so what. At least I've got the Corp edition of XP Pro, so there's a little less info being sent.

A packet sniffer can tell you EXACTLY what's going over the wire. Some stuff is encrypted, but people have used debuggers to see what it is. Doesn't currently tell them anything more then some of your hardware info.
