Microsoft is developing Big Brother-style software. It will be true?

In the form of being restricted to workplace machines i think it's an acceptable idea. That way they can catch people slacking off during working hours. But the rest of it is bull plain and simple. No-one should be privy to the kind of information they're trying to collect unless you bloody well tell them. There is no justifiable business reason that they should be able to track what the guy who empties the trash bins likes to talk about on his cell phone. And seriously, as if Microsoft isn't going to sell this to other places.

This is certainly possible, but is it ehic!? I think that EVERY worker should have the possibility to choose NOT being monitored, and should have this choice without endangering his job!

This is too much. From my point of view, I think the employers should not enter the privacy of their workers. All they need is to get their work done efficiently within the time. This might be applicable for people who are in marketing business but infact this would also worry them as they would think that they are not allowed freely to do their job.This might be helpful to track the employees who are spending their time in nasty things... Anyways Microsoft is always finding difficult to track its employees and that might be the major reason for this launch...
