Thanks for the info, Jonathan!!  I don't have anything sensitive on my PC 
except for the music that I write.  I was just surprised that MS called home 
and several times an hour.  I was curious about what they were up to though. 
  It was annoying have MS ask me every 5 minutes about calling home.  I now 
realize that it was happening before I had my firewall but it is still an 
intrusion of privacy.  MS does not need to know what I am doing on my PC 
though I understand their reasons for such intrusions.  Thanks again!!
