RE: Suggestion about Plus!
Would that work?

I mean, what if their connection was broken the moment Plus! sends this info, and after that they install a newer/older version? What if they use version X on the laptop and version Y on their PC and version Z at work... What if...

The idea is nice in theory, but I'm not convinced it would solve that much in practice and if it would be accurate info. As such, you still would be asking the user what version etc he has. Even if it was just to confirm the data on MyPlus!. So, in the end, you would still need to ask him stuff and making extra posts...

PS: I consider the list of installed programs a bigger privacy issue than knowing the Plus!/WLM/Windows version though. And I'm not sure such a list should be generated automatically without the ability for the user to edit it first. Either way, the same concerns apply here too; how accurate would that be in cases where the user is on a different PC than the one he has troubles with?
