It could be as Sven says, but I think that it’s more likely that they want to put some adds in that program to make some revenue out of it. There is probably a license agreement that gives you privacy rights, if there isn’t, people won’t use it, simple as that.

Microsoft is doing it because everyone is doing it, they aren’t inovative in anything, except bullshit of course.

Strange thing is, I tried disabling it three times and each time, I get BSOD.

From the clip posted it looks like a Zero-Config set-up. Apple already has this with Rendevous/Bonjour and there are various implementations on *nix I believe. This implementation seems to have taken it a step further as most zero-config are fairly local. It also doesn’t state what exact MS is using it for.

So, what is this a trap to see who uses it? Sorry, but I’m not buying that MicroSoft is going to give their users a P2P program to do what they please with it. This seems more like yet another way to monitor people’s actions.

For example, is this what we’re going to be seeing from an MS Employee: Oh look! Joe Sixpack at 123 Lemondrop Drive (we know this because he actually registered his copy of Vista, of course) is sharing a copy of The Island with Bob Twelvepack at 456 Candyland Lane!! CALL THE RIAA STAT!!!
