My new comp comes with windows xp proffesional on it by default, im debating putting on a different operating system, but i'm not sure.
Someone just told me that xp periodically scans your hard-drive and sends info on the contents back to MS, and if you have pirated software, it shuts down your comp..........
It dosent matter if I have pirated software on my comp, and that isnt the issue. The issue is no one has a right to know whats on my comp except me...... I read all the longass user agreements on the comp and the MS software on it-it didnt mention this "feature" anywhere in it.
Is the above true, and if so, any way to disable it? If it is true and I cant, im putting on a different OS.
