If something has to phone home to the mothership over the internet it's easy to hook into Windows networking stack at a very low level and see all the network traffic (just run Wireshark, it's using all public APIs). And even if they don't let you get that low into the network stack on the machine you can always put it behind another machine as a proxy and watch everything going by on the wire, even using SSL mitm and such to crack that open.
