Re: Re: [epub] aureate and privacy

Not to beat this one into the ground, but my most outstanding evidence 
towards Microsoft is the fact that when I got my personal NEC 
computer (with its own modifications of Windows 98), they had put 
on the desktop the utility for monitoring and disabling the 
chip-tracker.  If that doesn't say something....  In any case, 
like I said, it doesn't matter *too* much to me (although I did 
disable the chip =P ), just so long as I can consider myself 
somewhat aware of who knows what about me (although even 
that's becoming increasingly difficult with any web presence 
at all, spyware or no).

My point is simply if the software is worth using, perhaps it 
should be weighed first as to whether you truly care about a 
company gaining any kind of information about your web 
life as opposed to the value of what you accomplish with 
that software.
