[Moonlight-list] Moonlight's privacy?

[Paranoid User]

Does Moonlight also sends out your hardware-id to websites and MS? It is not
possible to disable this in Silverlight, but Moonlight might not even do
this. This would be a problem if they could get all kinds of information
about you, since hardware-id are unique and could be identifiable.

Well I visited a site that required Silverlight, and after seeing this
thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1584044 , I'm not
so sure about installing it.


Silverlight's privacy:
Internet-enabled features in software will send information about your
computer ("standard computer information") to the Web sites you visit and
Web services you use. This information is generally not personally
identifiable. Standard computer information typically includes information
such as your IP address, operating system version, browser version, your
hardware ID which indicates the device manufacturer, device name, and
version, application version and your regional and language settings. In
this case, the application version would be the version of Silverlight
installed on your device. Silverlight contains an update notification
feature that sends standard computer information to Microsoft.
