Pretty much every piece of software on your computer that "auto updates" is spewing your system information all over the place.

Not to mention the sound card support and mixing controls are beyond fucked. If you work with audio or are a musician be warned.

Want a whole list or just the top 10? When you get an update to any browser plugin, all the browser info is sent, often along with your OS version, SP level, etc. From Adobe Acrobat to your anti-virus, they are all telling things about you to their developers. There is no way to know if they choose not to keep the information, or to delete it right away.

Heck, when you surf, you spew much of the same information that these guys are complaining about: IP, OS, browser, plugins, etc.

It is amazing how much info is spewed on every page request, and how much more can be found by running a small javascript on the page.

"Many Vista users are unaware of how the new operating system threatens their privacy. As a default selection, the new shadow copies are automatically turned on when Vista is installed. Without your knowledge or approval, your computer is storing copies of your computer activities, as well as information about your Internet surfing. Erasing this information doesn't ensure your privacy because the shadow copies remain intact. East-Tec Eraser 2007, however, permanently removes both the original and shadow copies, and protects your privacy.
