Microsoft Denies Windows 8 App Spying Via SmartScreen 198
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has denied Windows 8 SmartScreen is spying after research by Nadim Kobeissi indicated otherwise." Whether it's "spying" or not, Microsoft is collecting certain information with SmartScreen — the key is what's done with it: The article quotes a Microsoft spokesperson: "We don’t use this data to identify, contact or target advertising to our users and we don’t share it with third parties."

Trust us, we promise, cross our heart and pinky swear, that just because we have built this feature into Windows 8 doesn't mean we will actually use it. It's there because of out incredible commitment to customer service and making the windows experience as user friendly as possible because we... uhhh excuse me, are you downloading firefox? Uh huh.. stop it. We said STOP IT!! Aright, you leave us no choice but for your safety and browsing ease your copy of Windows 8 has just been declared non genuine and will be locked.
