MS beskyldt for at plante spyware:
The notification tool has been accused of spyware-like behavior, "phoning
home" on a daily basis. Microsoft subsequently admitted the behavior, but
denied that it amounted to spyware. Following pressure, Microsoft
announced that in future the tool would only phone home once every two
weeks, instead of every day. Microsoft has also provided removal
instructions for the pilot version of WGA.
Despite this, Microsoft is currently being sued under anti-spyware
statutes over WGA's non-disclosed "phone home" behavior.The outcome of the
lawsuit has not been determined.
........Microsoft er altså sagsøgt som leverandør af spyware. Hvordan det
vil gå vil vise sig.
