Re: Info WGA sends to MS

"Our client software does not collect any information that can be used
to identify or contact a user. We use the same process used by many popular
search engines and Web sites to determine where their users are from --
a form of IP lookup. This IP lookup process does not include any information
that is used to identify you or contact you, and only gives a rough geographic
representation of where users are located."
