      Question Question about XP home

      I will be getting a new comp next week and would like to know if a pukka version of Windows XP home will report back to Microsoft HQ about my having a less-than-pukka version of Office XP ? I will probably put the anti-spy stuff on regardless, but I am a little concerned.

      A penny saved is ridiculous.

      I shouldn't worry - I have less than pukka version of Office on my pukka version of XP home and I've not had the Microsoft police on me yet!! I'm not running any antispy software either - maybe I should be?

      They have bigger fish to fry than home users!!

      Ehm, XP Antispy blocks most of the calling home functions:

      Hope it helps

      Great Utility N.B

      I've been manually editing the registry to stop these "services" - this tool will save me hours
