Xinhua - A Beijing University student has sued Microsoft for allegedly gathering personal information via Windows Genuine Advantage.
He has demanded a compensation of 1,350 RMB (around US$ 180) and an open apology printed in a national newspaper.
The student has accused Microsoft of using WGA to gather information about his computer and himself, rather than solely checking whether or not the installed Windows XP system was genuine.
A Microsoft spokesman has declined to speak on this issue and said that the matter is under investigation.
