Scoble: FUD regarding Vista

This is meant as a question/statement to Robert Scoble at Microsoft.

Here lately there has been a lot of FUD regarding Windows Vista's monitoring services.

The problem is quite a few people have posted blog posts saying that Microsoft will be monitoring all activity that you do. What people then perceive from that information is that Microsoft will be stealing your information and acting like "Big Brother."

My question to you is. Is this true? Is there anyway you can shed some light on this subject? This uncertainty is pushing a lot of people away from Vista. I have done searches on the internet for a while now and most searches turn up FUD regarding the monitoring.

To me it is there to prevent piracy and that is all, but there is nothing confiming most people suspicions or denying it.

If you read this thanks for any response.


Thank you
Buddy Lindsey.
