Windows seven has some sort of tracking client, it send the location,address and what not to some goober at microsoft. It looks like you can easily turn it off, but it's still scary, imagine what would happen if the spyware coders found a way to hack it...  pedofiles will be showin up at your door every 5 minutes,lol

I can't imagine what a pedophile would find on my computer that would make him appear on my door. Are you referring to the beta feedback program, customer feedback program or what here? Link please.

That's a 2 year old article about a possible feature, turned off by default, that was dumped and never put into any Microsoft operating system.
