BTW, make sure you update the stupid Windows live profile settings if you value your privacy. I had to uncheck a bunch of messenger social connections it made between my profile and a multitude of external social sites that had been connected by default. Makes me wonder if Micro$oft is following the same carefree ways of peddling my privacy as we have seen with Facebook in recent times?
