I assume that there's detailed analysis somewhere of the information that it
sends back?  I'd be interested to see it.

Cheers

Hi there,

You are suggesting that Windows lies about the state of its network 
interfaces?

Well, at least it's no secret that Microsoft uses Windows XP 
to send back information about the customers machine without 
notifying him about this. I'd call this a lie about the state 
of the network. 

This is reason enough for me not to trust MS with any version 
of Windows more recent than Windows 2000.

regards,
Tobias W.
