There is a tick somewhere to auto-checks for updates.
I think it also tells microsnot your PC make / CPU / HDD space / programs
installed / software licenses / and maybe any saved passwords / URL's / ID
numbers / etc

just another thought

Hi all,
How many of you have noticed that the Internet Explorer
that ran happliy a few months ago now goes to Microsoft
for an update. Even if you do a new installation! How
does the software know there is an update available, even when you
do a new installation and, more importantly :

WHAT ELSE DOES IT TELL MICROSOFT?

Just a thought.
