09/29/2004: "Does Windows XP Pro provide tracking of your actions?"
Frankly, I can't answer that question myself... yet. I came across an article this morning which claims to provide evidence of this activity. The article (Evidence For The Microsoft WinXP Pro Bugging Device) outlines multiple actions that take place on a Windows XP Pro system without providing any notification to the end user. There are also relevant links to other articles and papers describing some of these actions.
I have not worked my way through this in detail yet, nor performed my own analysis, but I hope to do so in the near future. In the meantime, read the original work here.
