It sounds like you're paranoid, and you're still doing things the hard way.

Ok.. I call it this...

Me being paranoid isn't the issue.

The issue is that Microsoft "phones home" for just about anything and everything you do these days. For example -- when I want to search for a file on my local hard drives, wtf would microsoft need to phone home? (Because it does... to sa.microsoft.com)

I paid for the OS and I don't want the OS making ANY uneeded or unwanted communication with Microsoft. Microsoft has a bit of a shady past with dealing with other businesses if you know what I mean.
