Be sure to read the new EULA/privacy statement for Windows update, it has an
interesting portion about how Windows Update and Automatic Update (which
gets installed with SP3) can, by agreeing to this license, send the
following pieces of info to Microsoft, this was posted on the MS focus list
by Javier Sanchez:
"With the latest version of Windows Update (essentially a mandatory download
and now part of SP3) you consent to sending the following information to
Microsoft:
* Operating-system version number and Product Identification number
* Internet Explorer version number
* Version numbers of other software
* Plug and Play ID numbers of hardware devices
This is stated in the "Windows Update Privacy Statement" which you can read
at <http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/about.asp?> You can also
follow the "About Windows Update" link off the WindowsUpdate page. Don't
bother trying to right-click, they've made sure to disable that."

Don't think I'll be installing this stuff. W2k works good for me with SP2, and then there's linux, which is superior to all ms software! :)
