The IE8 privacy policy notes:
*When Suggested Sites is turned on, the addresses of websites you visit are
sent to Microsoft, together with some standard information from your
computer such as IP address, browser type, regional and language settings.
To help protect your privacy, the information is encrypted when sent to
Microsoft. Information associated with the web address, such as search terms
or data you entered in forms might be included. For example, if you visited
the Microsoft.com search website at http://search.microsoft.com and entered
"Seattle" as the search term, the full address
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q=Seattle&qsc0=0&FORM=QBMH1&mkt=en-USwill
be sent. Address
strings might unintentionally contain personal information, but this
information is not used to identify, contact or target advertising to you.*
Big brother is watching! Oh my strings might contain personal information
but don't worry, Microsoft won't do anything with that information. Really?
Seriously? Pluheese.
