Microsoft listens to their users

Windows 7 has an advantage over all other operating systems, Microsoft’s not so secret weapon is the (CEIP) “Customer Experience Improvement Program” this is pretty much legal spyware, basically what this does is allow Microsoft to study the habits of its user base, If your are participating in this “Program” then your computing habits are being forwarded to the Microsoft development team, While this sounds bad its not really all that bad in fact its quite good.
