Re: Without users knowledge....
I agree that Lexmark should inform the user about their surveying practices. And I think bringing things like this up is a good thing, from a "slippery slope" point of view, don't get me wrong. But, I couldn't give two sh*ts about Lexmark's purported knowledge of my printing habits. What, are they going to report people who use up a lot of yellow and cyan to the FBI for printing a lot of pr0n?
I think the popularity of personal firewalls and even Windows XP Service Pack 2 would probably alert the user to such reporting anyway. People that are that concerned about their privacy are already running them anyway.
