What is Microsoft Hiding?

Computer privacy has long been an ongoing and controversial issue. And with the latest Google saga here comes yet another "gut renching" discovery.

What if you learned that Microsoft logged all of your data and actions on your computer and stored it in hidden files that can not be accessed?

Here is what this one web site says:

"There are folders on your computer that Microsoft has tried hard to keep secret. Within these folders you will find two (major) things: Microsoft Internet Explorer has been logging all of the sites you have ever visited -- even after you've cleared your cache, and Microsoft's Outlook and Outlook Express has been logging ALL of your e-mail correspondence -- even after you've erased them from your trashbin. (This also includes all incoming and outgoing e-mail attachments.) And believe me, that's not even the half of it. "

Is it really true? Does Microsoft take all of our information and store it in a big data vault somewhere? While there are obvious legalities in this, it still has yet to be fully uncovered, or proven.

But if so, why hasn't anyone done anything about it? Could it be that Microsoft executives may have found ways to secretly provide huge payoffs to lawmakers to stop any detailed investigations? Nobody really knows. And proving that would be a whole different story. Perhaps it should at least be acknowledged that it is indeed possible.

I can only recommend that you take a look at the article "Microsoft's really hidden files" and just judge for yourself.
