Be sure to read the new EULA/privacy statement for Windows update, it has an interesting portion about how Windows Update and Automatic Update (which gets installed with SP3) can, by agreeing to this license, send the following pieces of info to Microsoft, this was posted on the MS focus list by Javier Sanchez: "With the latest version of Windows Update (essentially a mandatory download and now part of SP3) you consent to sending the following information to Microsoft: * Operating-system version number and Product Identification number * Internet Explorer version number * Version numbers of other software * Plug and Play ID numbers of hardware devices This is stated in the "Windows Update Privacy Statement" which you can read at <http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/about.asp?> You can also follow the "About Windows Update" link off the WindowsUpdate page. Don't bother trying to right-click, they've made sure to disable that." Enjoy! Way to go MS! -cs -----Original Message----- From: Leif Sawyer [mailto:lsawyer@gci.com] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 9:48 AM To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com; full-disclosure@lists.netsys.com Subject: FW: Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 now available.
