@Riddick123 @Xx_DemonSoul_xX @A_Rabid_Dog That is why people who defend them don't get it. They aren't lying when they say your data won't be shared with third parties. Instead, they will know your preferences and match it up with what an advertiser is looking for. No sharing of your data ever took place, but the mission is accomplished regardless.
You see... Microsoft is so full of crap. They not only plan to track you with Kinect, but they WILL build ads around it. I work in marketing and subscribe to Advertising Age. Here is a story they just published today. Microsoft flips flops and tries to tell you it is not an Adbox. Yes it is...
Bye, Bye Cookie: Microsoft Plots Its Own Tracking Technology to Span Desktop, Mobile, Xbox
Microsoft's cookie replacement would essentially be a device identifier, meaning consumers could give permission for its advertising use when opting in to a device's regular user agreement or terms of service. Microsoft would then become directly responsible for users' data and -- assuming it doesn't share it with third parties -- confine privacy concerns to the Redmond, Wash.-based company rather than countless companies that currently collect data on people's browsing behaviors.
