the first people that I saw use this "feature" was Microsoft in their
messenger software, this practice has become far too widespread for my

For the way Messenger works, it has to communicate with a central server.

I've seen a number of programs communicate back to the central server with no
particular business need to do so, but it's a matter of personal preference as
to what's "business need" - after all, these programs have to fund themselves
somehow.
