I have heard that Office X sends some data over port 2222 and some port in the 3xxx range for piracy checking (I've read about how it works so no need to explain) and I'm concerned about my privacy.
I've read that it transmits to other Office copies running on a single subnet, but what I haven't got a clear answer on is: does it send anything to Microsoft? I've also heard that it pings Microsoft on startup (to check for a net connection?) but again, does it SEND anything to Microsoft?
Is there a clear YES or NO to whether or not anything gets sent to Microsoft by Office? I would hate to buy it and then be worried every time I use it that someone is watching over my shoulder.
Thanks,
Kent!
