freakxx writes "Xinhua reports that a Beijing University student has sued Microsoft for gathering personal informations by its WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) software. He has demanded a compensation of 1,350 RMB (US$ 180 approx.) and an open apology printed in national newspaper. He accused Microsoft that the WGA program enabled it to gather information about his computer and himself, rather than solely checking whether or not the installed Windows XP system was genuine.
Microsoft spokesman has denied to speak anything on this issue and said that the matter is under investigation." Link to Original Source
