Then I replied:
     Well Microsoft has touched it and stained it forever.  You had
better have some brilliant security technician look at the project
because Microslut is capturing the information from Windows users
and selling it to people to decide what you want to spend money on.
     So since it has been in the abode of evil can it come out
un-bugged?  I think the chances are about even that it either
joins you to the Microsoft User information base or that
your Ubuntu installation is pure.  I am not that security
technician by any means but find a Linux Users Group
in your general vicinity and see if they can offer
consultation.

     Also what registration does Microsoft require if any?
End of my reply to Dreamer.

     Are my concerns over-blown and totally paranoid?
