Did you know that Microsoft can be monitoring your EVERY MOVE on your Zune software?  Yeah it's true.  Stand up for your freedom! (Unless you're in some foreign country being overrunned by drug lords, then I would keep it on the down low) Free yourself from Microsoft's eyes

By default you're already in Microsoft's "Customer Experience Improvement Program."  Microsoft just wants you know that you want to help them improve their program.  Basically it's just a way to monitor you.

First go to Settings (If you don't know where this is e-mail me your address so I can smack you).  Then under the Software tab go to Privacy.  Uncheck the demonic box and free yourself from the nosy fingers of our beloved Microsoft.  Click Apply or OK and you're pretty much set.  Now your stash of pr0n won't be detected by your father in-law who works for Microsoft.

No... If Microsoft did that, they'd find themselves getting sued. That's why you have to opt into it in the first place...

No, x9, Microsoft would not find themselves getting sued. Remember that button you blindly pressed "I Agree" to?
