So this information, collected involuntarily, causes you to lose sleep?
* OEM product key
* PC Manufacturer
* OS version
* PID/SID
* BIOS info (make, version, date)
* BIOS MD5 Checksum
STOP THE PRESSES, MICROSOFT KNOWS WHAT VERSION BIOS I USE! WHAT EVER
WILL I DO?!?!?!?!?
As for "their word this is all they get" do you really think MS would
risk a lawsuit and the bad press to get any more? You really sound paranoid.
Frankly I don't see a problem in the information they collect. And I'm
not losing sleep worrying if Microsoft has some secret plan to collect
more information on me. But then again my house isn't wrapped in tinfoil
either.

What, exactly, is the problem with the information they collect?
You do realize that people gather and share far more information on
you when you apply for credit cards and the like? How is this any
different?
