“Your computer has just recovered from a serious problem”

Or words to that effect. Microsoft invited me to send a report of the problem which would include details of my hardware and software, and might include personal information.

Is this just another way to trick me into revealing if my copy of Windows XP is legitimate? I suspect so. I did not send the report and my computer appears to be functioning normally.

Have any of you received a similar message? Is MS just invading my privacy again?
