Hi David: What about the built-in phone home to Microsoft. What are they collecting? Could it be personal information? What if they keep the information and it is taken by others. How can you trust them? Did they tell you about the phone home? I beleive their are concerns! It not just someone running pirated stuff! Information is worth protecting. JMO Richard F.
