Unhappy vista sends your web history to microsoft then the police?

someone was telling me that vista records and then sends to microsoft if you visit websited like torrents, illegal movies etc.
and also if you use file share programs like kazaa, limewire etc.
and then passes details onto police..

truth or false?

That would VIOLATE the Terms of Agreement and make MS open to a Zillion Lawsuits.

yo dude.
cheers for the articles, got a little confused as 1 said it wasnt going to happen, and the other said they'd be in power by the end of the year?

however just because they say they won't doesnt mean there actually not going to....

personally if they do i think they are taking it too far!

they claim its to stop terrorism and paedos... yeh right!

humans survived for billions of years without these laws, y do we need them now?!?!?!?!?!

just my opinion.....
