I remember a few years ago the Privacy Commissioner of Canada was going all out on Google for capturing data from open wifi connections, which Google promptly deleted. It was a huge story for the Privacy Office, and to me it felt like the story was being exploited to boost the profile of the Office--they made it sound like a much bigger deal than it actually was. Now, here is an issue that I think is a much bigger problem, and has been going on for a long time with very little word from the Privacy Commissioner.
Why hasn't the Commissioner gone after Microsoft in the same way they went after Google? This is caused by a fundamental flaw in Microsoft's products, and I don't think having to purchase and install security software should be the solution. Fix the software itself.
