I was over at someones house the other day and we were talking about computers and stuff. I was telling them how I got XP Professional and he said he doesn't mess with that stuff cuz microsoft takes a screenshot of your entire computer when you boot up. Is this true because if it is we need to find a way to disable this!
a screen shot....of the entire computer. ROTFLMAO :lol:

I think you're confusing screenshot with "snapshot". Most systems do a snapshot of some sort at different times. It's basically just a software/hardware configuration image. Not as in a picture image, but a data image.
I'm not sure it's sent when you boot XP but it is sent when you register. Or for some upgrades.
But then who does register? :PQuote:

Yeah, if you go onto "system restore" you will see what snapshots it has made to date. Ususally makes one when you install a program. :D
