You will be installing a small application called "Windows Feedback Panel" on your PC. This application starts up automatically every time you log in to Windows and silently collects data about your PC's hardware and settings as well as some basic information about how you use your PC. The first time the application runs, it also collects information about how your files are organized.
Personally, I'm going to do it, but not on this computer, I'll use the family one so they won't see everything I do and download. The soonest you'll get this would be mid-March, and even though it is Vista, they'll probably [and hopefully] have all the bugs worked out.
