Subject: Microsoft win2003server phone home
Hello,
the subject has been discussed thoroughly for years, inclusing in court
rooms and legal disputes.
And if you use (and pay) for a product, you should be aware of the darn
license agreement.
Otherwise, don'tbe surprised if you one day sign away your kidney and first
born to B.Gates.
RTFM
