Signature Download or Install Issues?

I wanted to step back and make sure we have the signature updating mechanism
in place and working for all the beta testers. To make sure we are firing in
all cylinders, I am asking any user to let me know if signatures are not
downloading and installing for them. One caveat is that users behind SUS or
WSUS servers may be running into issues set by their system admins, so I
cannot help there. However, home users and others not behind corporate
update servers please let me know your signature woes (if any). My contact
information is above; just drop the "online" from the email.

You have the signature updating mechanism in place. Have you guys heard of
the Data Protection Act in the US? What assurances do we have as to the
degree of control and vetting processes MS has over the distribution of
personal information thru subsidaries or affiliates? Its a loosely worded
document. You do not mention in what form the consent be presented? Active X
Controls? Seems to be a conflict of standards here. IE7 designed to protect -
MS designed to present?

Collection and use of your personal information

When we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to
contact you, we will explicitly ask you for it. The personal information that
we collect from you will be used by Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries
and affiliates to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you
have requested or authorized, and it may also be used to request additional
information on feedback that you provide about the product or service that
you are using; to provide critical updates and notifications regarding the
pre-release software; or to improve the product or service (for example, bug
and survey form inquiries).

Except as described in this statement, personal information you provide will
not be transferred to third parties without your consent. We occasionally
hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as
answering customer questions about products or services, or performing
statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies
the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Microsoft may disclose personal information about you if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a)
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
Microsoft or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of
Microsoft and its family of Web sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, users of Microsoft
products or services, or members of the public.
